The problem with legacy dispatch tools
Small fleets are forced to choose between brittle spreadsheets and enterprise transit software built for city-scale agencies. The result is missed notifications, overtime surprises, and managers burning hours on manual reconciliation every week.

FAQ
How quickly can our team switch from spreadsheets?
Most operators move their first route set in under an hour. small_bus starts with route, driver, and schedule views that mirror how dispatch teams already work.
Can dispatchers use this from a phone in the field?
Yes. The dashboard is mobile responsive, so supervisors can check assignments, route updates, and passenger notices from the yard or from a stop.
Do we need enterprise onboarding or consulting?
No. The product is built for small fleets. You can launch with your own data and workflows without external implementation teams.
How does payment and access work?
Payment runs through Lemon Squeezy checkout. After successful purchase, small_bus grants a secure access cookie and unlocks the full operations workspace.
