Source of Truth
One vehicle. Multiple ways to get paid.
One coach can run a shuttle, a charter and a bus tour in the same day. One calendar, and no bus is ever booked twice.
Morning shuttle
6 to 9 AM, North Ridge to Downtown
Fleet calendar Unit 88
Built for bus and motorcoach companies that run more than one kind of trip
GridOps is bus charter software that also sells shuttle seats and bus tours. Charters, shuttle runs and tour dates share the same buses, so no bus is ever sold twice. See the details for charter bus management software, shuttle booking software and bus tour software.

FAQ
Questions bus companies ask before a demo
Can I check a price before it goes to the customer?
Yes. Each booking form can show an instant price, or GridOps can price the request in the background and hold it until someone on your team checks it and sends it. Multi-day trips are always sent by you.
Can one bus run charters, shuttles and tours?
Yes. Charters, shuttle departures and tour dates sit on one dispatch board and share the same buses. When a charter takes a bus, that date comes off the on-demand tour calendar, so no bus is booked twice.
Do you take a cut of my charter bookings?
No. GridOps is $40 per bus per month with every feature included, and we never take a percentage of your charter bookings. Shuttle and tour bookings paid online carry a 1.9% booking fee (0.9% for founding operators), billed monthly. Card fees are paid to Stripe.
Where does the money go?
Straight to your own Stripe account. Customers pay the deposit when they accept, and the balance is charged to their saved card on its due date. Card details are handled by Stripe; GridOps never stores card numbers.
Do you work with bus companies in the US?
Yes. GridOps is built in Canada and works for bus and motorcoach companies in Canada and the US, with taxes set by region. Shuttle seat sales are for Canadian operators for now.
Can I check a price before it goes to the customer?
