Transfer Enhancements

Edit transfers for a service at a selected stop point and view transfers on the map

Edit all transfers at a transfer stop point

Journey Planner Enhancements

The journey planner now automatically returns next services if there are no more services in the specified time window.

Service Timetable Enhancements

Service timetable filters

Easily find services text filtering by route number, route name or stop point names. In addition, you can also now filter for services by operating date.

Viewing transfers on map

Easily view service transfers on the map

Shift Bat Enhancements

Driver transfer labels

Display either the route number or trip head sign in the shift bat for transfer labels.

This is great for school bus drivers who identify school service by animal names instead of TfNSW's "S" school numbers.

New driver break options

New driver break options "Crib", "Meal", "Shift Split".
Meal and Shift Split breaks are excluded in the total shift durations on the shift bat summary table.

Performance Boost 🚌💨

We've lifted the hood and made major system-wide performance improvements.
Busable should now feel a lot more snappy and responsive! We've been using it and loving it, and we hope you do too.

You will need to opt-in to enable this performance mode. Go to Settings > Account > Application > Enable super snappy performance
