The official plan loves changeovers. Smart Route looks for something better: one bus that passes near your destination, so you deboard early, walk a short stretch, and skip the second bus entirely — its fare, its wait, and its uncertainty.
Look for the badges: Recommended when it beats the official plan, Stay on the same bus when it trades a few minutes for zero changes, and Transfer-free when the walk is trivial. Commuters crossing the city — and anyone travelling with luggage, kids, or tired legs — feel the difference most.
Not always — sometimes it's a few minutes slower but spares you a changeover and a second wait. The card tells you exactly what you gain before you commit.
Only options within easy walking distance of your destination are shown, with the walk time estimated up front.
