Design the whole network. Publish it in one go.
Stop authoring routes, calendars and duties separately and hoping they line up. Lay out a day's service across every route on one canvas, then publish trips, driver duties and vehicle blocks together.
One plan, not two disconnected exercises.
Timetable and rota from the same design
Publish once and RouteStra turns the design into concrete trips, draft driver duties and vehicle blocks together. Your timetable and your rota come out of the same plan, so they can't drift apart the way they do when you build them in separate tools.
Dry-run before anything goes live
Preview shows exactly what would be created, changed or kept before you commit. And it's built to be re-run: tweak a frequency, add a time-band and republish - unchanged trips stay exactly as they were, so existing driver assignments don't get torn up.
Plan it as a team, in real time
More than one planner can work on a blueprint together, with live presence showing who's in it and edit takeover when someone needs control. Every blueprint keeps a version history and point-in-time snapshots you can roll back to.
Six steps, then publish.
Stops & Routes
Drop stops and build routes on the map, with automatic road-network timings between them.
Route Options
Per-route settings - active state, display order, notes and any calendar override that route needs.
Patterns
Define the trip patterns each route runs: which stops, in which order, for which variant of the service.
Calendar
Set which days each part of the service operates - weekdays, weekends, school days, holidays.
Shifts & frequency
Design the day's driver shifts alongside how often buses run, by time of day.
Preview & publish
Dry-run the result, resolve anything the issues panel flags, then publish trips, duties and vehicle blocks in one go.

Common questions
Blueprints sits on top of the timetabling tools - the same trip patterns, the same service calendars - and gives you the network-level view that route-by-route editing never could. Timetables is where you author and publish a service; Blueprints is where you design several of them as one coherent day.
