Everything in one app

Built for the way you actually get around campus

Navigo bundles the whole shuttle experience — planning, reminders, alerts and safety — into a single, fast, offline-first app.

On-device journey planner

Door-to-door multi-leg routing across every campus shuttle, ranked by Fastest, Less walking or Fewer transfers. The whole network solves in under a millisecond — no routing server, no waiting.

Truly offline

Timetables, routes and road-following map shapes live on your phone. Plan trips in a basement lecture hall with zero signal.

Smart bus reminders

Pick how many minutes before departure to be nudged. Timezone-correct, survives reboots, and clears itself once the bus has gone.

Departures near you

Snap to the nearest stop and see exactly what's leaving next, sorted by walking time.

Live service alerts

Delays and disruptions arrive as a push notification and a clear banner — colour-coded by severity.

Routes that follow the road

Tap any option to isolate it on the map — ride legs trace the real street geometry, walking legs are dashed, with a full stop-by-stop timeline.

Campus Lost & Found

Lost your card or earphones? Post it (with a photo) or browse what others have found, right inside the app.

Campus security, one tap

Call campus security straight from the dashboard whenever you need it — day or night.
