All New Driver App Released

17/05/2023

We are pleased to announce that our new Driver App has been released and is now live on both the App Store and Google Play.

The new app replaces our previous app originally released in 2016. 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.
