Why Agencies Ask: “How are other transit systems actually using simulators?”
Driving simulators have become core training tools for transit agencies, supporting new hires and veteran drivers alike. Agencies use them for bus familiarization, pre-trip inspections, core driving skills, mirror awareness, and scenario training. Simulators allow safe repetition, measurable feedback, and gamified challenges, improving confidence, pass rates, and safety, while reducing costs and risk.
