If you are interested in opening up a bus route for a sightseeing tour or other service, then at the beginning it may be difficult for you to know where to start. There are enough things to consider when planning your bus route. In any case, this is a fairly simple process that does not require any special knowledge.
It is necessary
- - personal vehicles;
- - route plan.
Instructions
Step 1
Think about the key locations you want to include on your bus route. For example, if you are planning a tourist route around your city, be sure to include driving past the most attractive and famous places. Don't be afraid to make it too long: the more interesting the route is, the more profitable it will be for you.
Step 2
Make sure you can stop at all important places. To make the road memorable for passengers and they feel that they have not bought tickets in vain, you should try to make all important points of the route accessible. Indicate your key places in the route plan, take into account any deviation from the route, do not forget about additional stops closer to the city center or somewhere near large hotels and business places.
Step 3
Avoid areas prone to excessive traffic congestion. If you have created a route that allows you to get to the right place in the shortest possible time, but did not take into account the nature of the movement on it, then your work may be in vain. One trip is enough for passengers to evaluate the quality of service and make a conclusion about whether it is worth using your services in the future. And if during the trip they get stuck in a traffic jam, it will forever leave a negative impression in their memory. In some situations, such as when it is impossible to avoid driving on a busy street, be sure to warn passengers about this in advance.
Step 4
Register your route with the transport department of your city. You must have all the necessary documents for using public transport, a ready-made route plan and a description of its functions.
Step 5
Purchase routing software. Car Navigators can help you create a bus route on your computer and show important information like total mileage, route time and possible congestion points along the way.
