Your route.
Your voice
in your ear.
Bus Linie Navi guides bus drivers by voice exactly along the approved route. Diversions from the control centre are already included. Offline, in seven languages, built so your eyes stay on the road.
A sat nav that knows your route.
Bus Linie Navi is a navigation app for scheduled bus services. Instead of entering an address, drivers choose their operator, route and direction. The app follows the approved route, repeats turn instructions after every stop and brings you back automatically if you go off route.
Today’s route. Not last week’s notice board.
Roadworks, closures, events: the control centre creates the diversion once. Every morning the app loads the current version, and urgent changes arrive by push. Drivers no longer have to memorise diversions.
- Control centre creates the diversionDraw it on the map in the web editor, with a start and end date.
- Every device loads the new versionAutomatically before each shift. Short-notice changes arrive by push while driving.
- The driver simply drivesThe app announces “Route updated by dispatch” and guides along the new route. No paper notices.
Built for scheduled buses, not for trucks.
Guidance exactly along the route
Including loop routes and sections driven twice. No sat nav taking a “faster” shortcut.
Voice instead of screen
The screen can stay dark while driving. Everything important comes by voice.
Turns are repeated
When the bus pulls away from a stop, you hear the next turn again.
Automatic return
Took a wrong turn? The app guides you back onto the route, and from the depot to the first stop.
Works without signal
Maps and routing run on the device. A route is calculated in under 0.1 seconds.
Diversions from the control centre
Connected operators send new route versions straight to the device, even while driving.

Quick answers.
What is Bus Linie Navi?
Bus Linie Navi is a navigation app for drivers of scheduled city and regional buses. It guides drivers by voice exactly along their operator’s approved route, including diversions, and works offline. It is available for iPhone and Android.
How is Bus Linie Navi different from a truck or car sat nav?
A normal sat nav looks for the fastest road to an address. Bus Linie Navi knows the route: drivers choose operator, route and direction, and the app stays on the approved route – including loop routes and sections driven twice.
How much does Bus Linie Navi cost?
You can try the app free for 7 days. You’ll see the current price in the App Store or on Google Play before you subscribe. One home route stays free forever, and you can cancel anytime.
What are live routes?
Live routes are current route versions maintained by the operator, for example during roadworks or events. The app downloads them automatically, and short-notice changes arrive by push while driving. Drivers no longer have to memorise diversions.
Does Bus Linie Navi work outside Germany?
Yes. Maps and routing cover all of Europe and the app speaks seven languages. We set up routes for operators in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and other countries.
