All New Driver App at Euro Bus Expo 2022

14/11/2022

Our all new Driver App was on show for the first time at Euro Bus Expo 2022 which took place at the UK's NEC on 1st - 3rd November 2022.

The new app, which replaces our original Driver App released in 2020 and Walk-Around Check App released in 2016, is scheduled to be released in early 2023. The app has been redesigned from start to finish with a new modern look and a greatly enhanced user experience.  Available free of charge† to every operator using Coach Manager, TBS or VMS, functionality includes the ability for drivers to perform their daily walk-around checks and report any defects.  For users of Coach Manager it also allows drivers to view a list of the bookings they have been allocated to, view the full details of each and be guided through each in driving mode.
