For Public Transit Fleets
Bus and transit fleet maintenance software built to keep riders moving
Fleetpal helps transit agencies, school districts, and shuttle operators cut downtime, stay inspection-ready, and control cost per mile — with preventive maintenance, work orders, and per-vehicle cost tracking in one platform.
The stakes
For transit fleets, reliability is the whole job
Riders count on every bus showing up. Maintenance is where that reliability is won — and the part of the budget you control most directly.
The average cost of a single unplanned bus breakdown — towing, route disruption, substitute vehicles, and lost service hours.
Industry estimates
Of a bus fleet's operating budget goes to maintenance — the cost you control most directly.
Industry estimates
What fleets on a structured preventive program spend per year versus running reactively.
Industry estimates
A bus over 10 years old can cost several times more per mile than one under five — per-vehicle cost data tells you when to replace, not just repair.
Visibility
Every bus and vehicle, tracked in one place
Track by mileage, engine hours, and APU hours
Buses, vans, and support vehicles each wear differently — Fleetpal tracks odometer, engine hours, and APU hours per unit so service is scheduled on the meter that matters.
PM intervals and compliance at a glance
See overdue, due-soon, and planned services per vehicle so your fleet stays inspection-ready and on schedule across every depot.
Turn a pre-trip inspection defect into a work order
When a driver's DVIR flags a problem, it becomes a tracked work order in a click — so the issue gets fixed before it pulls a bus off its route.
A complete record on every vehicle
Specs, meters, documents, expirations, and full service history live on each unit — everything an audit or a replacement decision needs.
