Timetables and departures for shuttle operators
Set the shuttle timetable once. Run every departure.
Departure times, days and dates go in once. GridOps creates every run, crews it from your default bus and driver, and shows you the runs that still need attention.
$40 per bus per month, with a 30-day free trial.
WHAT IT IS
GridOps is bus timetable software for shuttle and bus companies: a timetable, a departures board and a manifest for every run, on the same system as your charters and tours.
It replaces the weekly spreadsheet of runs and the whiteboard of who drives what, and gives your office a live list of every booking on every run, with a boarded count.
Your day, changed
What changes when the timetable builds your runs?
Seven moments of a shuttle operator’s week. Step through them to see what changes.
Timetables and departures
Every run planned, crewed and boarded
A shuttle timetable is only as good as the runs behind it. GridOps turns your times into real departures, each with a bus, a driver and a seat count, and keeps them coming.
01
Runs that make themselves
18 months ahead, every night.
Generate Departures creates the runs for the dates you pick.
A nightly job keeps every active schedule filled 18 months ahead.
Edit the schedule and its empty future runs follow.
Departure times follow your own time zone.
02
Gaps flagged before anyone waits
Every run in the week, sorted by whether it is ready.
Runs take the default driver, unless they’re on time off.
Runs take the default bus, unless it’s busy or in the shop.
A run missing a bus or a driver is flagged Needs attention.
Group the board by readiness and the flagged runs come first.
03
Runs and charters share the bus, never double booked
One fleet calendar for shuttle runs, charters and shop time.
Each run shows under the bus that drives it on the fleet calendar.
A charter can’t take a bus that is already on a run.
Shop time blocks a bus for runs and charters alike.
The dispatch board shows runs beside charters and tours.
- InspectionShop time
- 11:00 YYC Airport Express9 of 56 seats
- 13:00 YYC Airport Express14 of 56 seats
- Hanlon wedding, BanffCharter
Runs, charters and shop time share one calendar, so a bus is never in two places.
Every run you generate goes on sale and onto a driver’s day
Runs sell at the route’s fares the moment they exist, and each driver sees the runs on their own schedule.

Drivers
Drivers who know their day

Pricing
What does shuttle timetable software cost?

Questions operators ask about shuttle timetables
How far ahead are departures created?
Generate Departures creates runs for the dates you pick, and a nightly job keeps every active schedule filled 18 months ahead.
What if the default bus or driver isn’t free?
The run is still created. It’s flagged Needs attention on the board until you assign another bus or driver.
Can weekends run on different times?
Yes. Add a second schedule for the same route with its own times and days.
Where do seat counts come from?
From the bus. Assign a bus to a run and its seat count becomes the run’s capacity. GridOps won’t put a bus on a run with fewer seats than are already sold.
How does boarding work?
Open the run’s manifest and tap Board as each booking gets on. The header counts who has boarded against who has booked.
How do I know a run has left?
Your team moves each run from Scheduled to Boarding, En route and Arrived on the board, so everyone can see where it stands.
Can one board show all my routes?
Yes. The departures board shows every run for the day or the week, grouped by day, route or readiness.
Do shuttle runs show up next to my charters?
Yes. Runs sit on the dispatch board and the fleet calendar with your charters and tours, and a bus on a run can’t be sold to a charter at the same time.
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?
GridOps charges you a 1.9% booking fee on shuttle and tour bookings paid online, billed monthly, or 0.9% if you’re a founding operator. Charters have no booking fee, and Stripe charges its own card fee.
