Find a route
The rider picks a start, an end and a day. The app lists the shuttles that run that way, with time, journey length, seats left and fare.

Shuttlo: Fixed-Route Shuttle Booking App
Shuttlo is a shuttle booking app designed and built by our team. Riders pick a route and a seat, pay, follow the bus on a map and show a QR ticket. The operator sees every bus and seat on one web console.

The brief
What a shuttle service needs
Shuttle companies run the same routes every day, but many still sell seats by phone, at a counter or in a chat group. Seats get sold twice and riders turn up at the wrong stop.
Riders also stand by the road not knowing if the bus is late. The operator, meanwhile, cannot see how full each trip is until the bus leaves.
-
1
One place for seats
Every seat should be sold once. The rider and the operator must see the same seat map.
-
2
Know where the bus is
Riders want to see the bus on a map and the time left, not guess.
-
3
Easy boarding
The driver should check a ticket in a second, even where the phone has no signal.
-
4
Control for the operator
The team needs a clear view of trips, buses, empty seats and delays, and a quick way to tell riders about changes.
What we designed
Inside Shuttlo
We designed Shuttlo as a rider app, a simple driver view and a web console for the operator. All three work from the same trip and seat records.
Seat map
The rider sees the bus layout, taps free seats and sees the total. Seats already sold are greyed out, so two people never get the same seat.
Pay and get a ticket
The rider pays by UPI or card and gets a ticket with a QR code. It is saved on the phone and works without internet.
Live bus tracking
The map shows the bus, the stops left and the driver name. The rider can switch on an alert for when the bus is two stops away.
Driver scanning
The driver scans each QR code at the door. The app shows a green tick, the seat number and how many riders are still to board.
Operator console
The team sees all buses on a map, seats sold for each trip, late buses and cancellations. They can add a trip, swap a bus or cancel, and riders are told by message.

The mobile app
How it works
Key journeys, step by step
Here is how the main tasks work, from picking a route to getting off at the stop.
Book a seat
The rider searches a route, picks seats on the map, pays and gets a QR ticket within a minute.
Wait for the bus
Instead of standing at the stop, the rider watches the bus move on the map and gets an alert when it is close.
Board and ride
The driver scans the ticket. If the phone has no signal, the saved ticket still works.
Handle a change
If a bus is late or a trip is cancelled, the operator marks it once. Every rider on that trip gets a message with the new time or a choice of another trip.

FAQ
Questions about building a product like Shuttlo
What is a shuttle booking app?
It is an app for buses that run on set routes at set times, like an airport shuttle or an office bus. Riders book a seat in advance and see where the bus is.
What affects the cost of building a shuttle booking app?
The main drivers are the number of apps (rider, driver, console), live tracking, the seat map, payment and refund rules, and links to tools you already use. A first version with one city and fixed routes keeps the scope small.
Can you build a shuttle booking app like this for my business?
Yes. We can build the rider app for Android and iOS, a driver view that scans tickets and shares the bus position, and the web console for your team.
How does live bus tracking work?
The driver app sends the bus position every few seconds. Riders see the bus on a map with the time left to their stop, and get an alert when it is close.
What if a trip is cancelled or late?
The operator marks the trip in the console. Riders get a message at once and can pick another trip or ask for their money back, based on your rules.
