Built to sell seats, not report ridership

Shuttle.Software ships an embeddable booking widget, Stripe checkout with deposits and refunds, promo codes and vouchers, live per-seat inventory and 0% booking commission — the revenue stack a private operator needs, alongside the dispatch board and driver app.

Published pricing, monthly terms

$99/mo flat with a $299 one-time setup, cancel any month. There is no RFP, no multi-year term and no quote cycle — you can be live before an enterprise vendor schedules the first call.

Employee and campus shuttles included

If your work is contracted transport rather than public sales, employee, campus and hotel loops run on the same board with fixed timetables, rosters and monthly invoicing — at commercial-operator pricing rather than agency pricing.

The honest verdict

Choose TransLoc if you are a university, municipality or transit agency running fixed-route or microtransit services through a procurement process. Choose Shuttle.Software if you are a commercial operator selling airport, hotel and employee shuttle seats — you want published pricing, per-seat online sales and an SEO booking website, none of which TransLoc is designed to provide.
