Routes and fares for shuttle operators
Every shuttle stop, every fare, priced in one click.
Build a shuttle route from its stops, pick how you price it, and GridOps works out the fare for every stop pair. Change any fare by hand and it stays that way.
$40 per bus per month, with a 30-day free trial.
WHAT IT IS
GridOps gives shuttle and bus companies one place to set up routes, stops and fares, next to the charters and tours they already run.
It replaces the fares sheet by the phone and the maths nobody wants to redo when a price changes.
Name the stops in order, choose a flat fare, a price per stop or a price per kilometre, and generate the fare for every pair of stops. Lines you run for someone else can stay off sale completely.
Your day, changed
What changes when your routes and fares live in GridOps?
Seven moments of running shuttle routes. Step through them to see what changes.
Routes and fares
Set up once, priced every time
A shuttle route is a list of stops and a price for every trip along it. GridOps holds both, so the fare a customer pays online is the fare your office would quote.
01
Routes in minutes
Stops in order, marked for pickup or drop-off.
Name each stop and put them in the order the bus runs.
Mark where guests can board, get off, or both.
Label a route outbound, inbound or circular.
Switch a route off and it leaves your booking form.
02
Every fare, priced for you
One rule prices the whole route.
One flat fare for any trip on the route.
A price for every stop crossed.
A price per kilometre between stops.
A minimum fare, so short hops still pay.
03
Your prices, your call
Generate, then adjust what you like.
Edit any fare by hand and it’s marked override.
Regenerate and your overrides stay put.
Ask for a deposit, full payment or nothing at booking, per route.
Give shuttle bookings their own cancellation policy.
04
Sell it or just run it
Closed runs for contract work.
Mark a line you run for another brand as a closed run.
Public bookings on it are refused, not just hidden.
It stays on your dispatch board and fleet calendar.
Your office can still add passengers by hand.
What happens after the fares are set?
Routes feed the rest of your shuttle day: the timetable, the seats you sell and the board your dispatchers run.
Timetables
Timetables and departures
Set departure times once and every run appears, crewed from your defaults.
Building the timetable?
See our shuttle timetable software.
Seat booking
Seats sold online
Customers pick their stops and pay the fare for that pair.
Selling seats?
See our shuttle seat booking software.
Dispatch
One board for every line
Shuttle runs sit beside charters and tours on the dispatch board.
Dispatching the runs?
See our bus dispatch software.
Everything around the route, already handled
Payments, vehicles and team controls come with every route you set up.
Your routes
Outbound, inbound or circular
Label each route by direction, so you can tell the outbound and return routes apart.
Stops from an address search
Pick each stop from the address search, so its location is exact for per-km fares.
Reorder in seconds
Move a stop up or down, then regenerate and the fares follow.
Your money
Deposits your way
Ask for a deposit, full payment or nothing at booking, route by route.
Refunds from your policy
Cancel a booking and the refund is worked out from your shuttle policy.
Taxes by region
Every shuttle booking gets an invoice with your taxes on it.
Your fleet
Seats come from the bus
Assign a bus to a run and its seat count becomes the capacity.
Runs on the fleet calendar
Each run shows under the bus that drives it.
No double booking
A bus on a shuttle run can’t be sold to a charter at the same time.
Your team
Roles for dispatch and sales
Dispatchers, sales and accountants each see their own part.
Who changed that booking?
Every change to bookings and payments, with who, when and what changed.
Ask Nash
Ask Nash how to set up a route or a schedule, and it takes you there.
Pricing
What does shuttle route and fare software cost?
One price per bus, with routes, fares, timetables and seat booking included. Shuttle and tour bookings paid online carry a 1.9% booking fee, billed monthly. The first 10 founding operators who join by December 31, 2026 pay $20 per bus and 0.9%, both locked for 3 years.
Questions operators ask about shuttle routes and fares
How are shuttle fares worked out?
Pick one rule per route: one flat fare, a price per stop crossed, or a price per kilometre, with an optional minimum fare. Generate Fares then prices every stop pair on the route.
Can I set some fares by hand?
Yes. Edit any fare and it’s marked override. When you regenerate the rest, your hand-set fares stay as they are.
How is distance measured for per-kilometre fares?
GridOps uses the straight-line distance between stops. Where the road winds, set that fare by hand or price the route flat or per stop.
Can I run a line I never sell online?
Yes. Mark it a closed or contract run. You dispatch it like any other route, and GridOps refuses public bookings on it.
Can different routes take different deposits?
Yes. Each route can ask for a deposit, full payment or nothing at booking, or follow your default.
Can a route have a minimum fare?
Yes. Set a minimum fare on the route and short trips never price below it.
Where does the customer’s money go?
Straight to your own Stripe account, with your deposit and refund rules.
Can I take a route off sale for the season?
Yes. Switch the route off and it leaves your booking form. Switch it back on when the season starts.
What counts as a bus?
Any vehicle that can be booked or dispatched counts as a bus.
Does GridOps take a cut of shuttle bookings?
Shuttle and tour bookings paid online carry a 1.9% booking fee, billed monthly, or 0.9% for founding operators. Charters carry none. Stripe charges its own card processing fee.
