# BusGenius

> BusGenius is an intelligent shuttle management platform for customers who run fixed-route or circulator shuttles at airports, universities, hotels, medical centers, residential communities, and corporate campuses.

BusGenius goes beyond basic tracking (AVL). Its core value is preventing bus bunching and eliminating long wait times through dynamic headway management — keeping buses evenly spaced without requiring a human dispatcher. The platform also provides automatic passenger counting, automated voice announcements, a web-based operations portal with analytics, and passenger-facing apps and displays.

An interactive simulation of bus bunching and BusGenius headway management is available at https://www.busgenius.com/bus-bunching.
