FIXED ROUTE

Plan and run every fixed route service, on one platform.

From a single line to a full network, plan service, publish GTFS, build schedules, and run live operations in one system — combined-mode, detours, special events, or a full fixed route replacement.

Everything you need to plan and run fixed route

Plan service, publish updates, and run operations from the same data—no handoffs, no lag.

Plan your services
schedules with full visibility into vehicles, drivers, and demand.
Monitor and adapt in real-time
Keep service in sync automatically as conditions change.
Operate as one network
When you run demand response too, manage both in one view.

Design service once, publish everywhere

Draw and publish routes from a live map, and your GTFS feed stays in step with what you’re actually running. No duplicate entry, no reconciliation.

Design and publish routes visually
Draw routes and publish from a live map view.

GTFS that matches reality

Your published feed reflects the service on the road, not a file someone updates by hand.

One system, planning to ops
When you run demand response too, both run on the same data.

Build true-to-life schedules

Plan fixed-route schedules with full visibility into vehicles, drivers, and demand. When conditions change, update schedules without starting over.

Control service hours and efficiency early

See service hours, miles, and deadhead as you build.

Right-size fleet and service in real time
Adjust vehicles and trips with full visibility into requirements.

Enforce labor rules by default
Ensure blocking and duties align with union agreements and local constraints.

Monitor and adapt your network in real-time

Track vehicles, service, and riders in one view.

Optimize service across modes
Balance vehicles and trips to improve efficiency, across every mode you run.

Respond to disruptions faster
Detect issues early and apply updates system-wide.

Talk to drivers directly
Reach one driver or a whole route from the dispatch view. Push the update the moment conditions change, without a separate radio system.

Keep drivers on route, on time, and in sync

Spare’s driver app supports the full shift—from duties to navigation, passenger tracking, and live updates. Routes and schedules sync automatically, so drivers always have the latest information.

Built-in navigation, on-time status, and passenger tracking keep drivers on route, on schedule, and connected to operations.

Drivers start every shift with clarity
Drivers begin with full visibility into routes, trips, and duties—no confusion or delays.
Guide drivers in real time
Turn-by-turn navigation with stop awareness keeps service on route and consistent.
Maintain schedule adherence
Real-time on-time status helps drivers stay on schedule throughout the route.
Capture accurate rider data
Passenger counts are tracked automatically to support better planning and reporting.
Keep drivers and dispatch in sync
In-app push-to-talk connects a driver to dispatch without dialing or leaving the app. No separate radio to carry or maintain.
Reduce service disruptions
Off-route detection and alerts help drivers correct issues before they impact riders.

One platform, every fixed route scenario
