Bus driving simulator for transit and passenger transport

It's a professional training system built around a real bus cab — fully enclosed and roofed, total immersion — with a wraparound projection system, the simulation software, and an instructor station. It's used to train new drivers, recertify current ones, and rehearse risk situations — pedestrians, bad weather, mechanical failures — without exposing units or passengers. Every maneuver is measured by telemetry, and results are logged to the cloud per driver.

On the hardware side, three things other simulators don't offer: the cab is total-immersion — fully enclosed and roofed, while the rest of the market uses open cabs —; the motion system moves the entire cab, not just the seat, which is far more realistic in passenger transport because sway, road banking, and braking are felt the way passengers feel them; and the control station lets the instructor drive another networked vehicle inside the same session, something the others can't do. On the software side: fingerprint identification and a cloud system with tamper-proof results. And on top of all that, the largest after-sales support operation in Mexico.

Urban, intercity, and staff-transport operations train with APEX simulation, on the same engine that backs the country's largest fleets. In public transit: Mexico City's RTP passenger bus network — which acquired the country's first electric bus simulator — and state training programs in Jalisco, Sonora, San Luis Potosí, and Campeche. In transportation and logistics: Coca-Cola FEMSA, PepsiCo, Grupo Bimbo, Barcel, Bachoco, Arca Continental, Grupo Modelo, Danone, Alpura, Grupo Lala, Bepensa, Estafeta, Coppel, Liverpool, Soriana, OXXO, and PEMEX, along with federal motor carriers Tres Guerras, Fletes México, HG Transportaciones, and TUM. In driver's license testing: the Government of the State of Guanajuato — the largest program in the country, with more than 300,000 exams administered —, the state Ministry of Mobility of Jalisco, Nayarit, and San Pedro Garza García. In public safety and defense: Jalisco's Ministry of Public Security, the Nuevo León Attorney General's Office, and the municipalities of Puebla, Querétaro, Guadalajara, Escobedo, and San Pedro Garza García.

The range we see in Mexican fleets goes from a 15% to a 50% reduction in accident rate, depending on annual training hours and how closely the scenarios match the real operation. In passenger transport the impact goes beyond the cost of the crash: every accident avoided protects dozens of people on board — and the reputation of the company or the transit system.

Yes. The technical-economical driving module analyzes fuel consumption by driving habit — RPMs, engine use, engine braking, braking, and acceleration — and trains eco-driving techniques. In fleets, typical fuel savings run from 1.5% to 5%, smoother driving cuts maintenance cost by 15% to 30%, and in passenger transport it also translates into a more comfortable ride.

Every session generates full telemetry per driver — RPMs, braking, acceleration, driving habits, and safety errors — logged to the cloud and tamper-proof. From there you get the comparison matrix by driver type — A, B, C, and D classification, safe-and-efficient profiling, and a risk traffic light —, per-site dashboards accessible from any device, and API connectivity to feed the results into your systems. Access is validated by fingerprint, so every training hour is attributed to the right person.

Yes. The cab is 100% wrappable with your identity, and the software is configured with the units you actually operate, so the driver trains in the same bus they drive on route. The equipment also works as a visible asset at job fairs and driver-recruitment campaigns — one of the hardest positions to fill in the industry.

Delivery is turnkey: APEX installs the equipment, calibrates it, and trains your instructors — it's up and running from day one, with no integrators or third parties. It includes the equipment warranty and access to APEX Drive+, the app where support tickets are filed and service history is kept. Once the warranty ends, the annual maintenance plan covers preventive and corrective service and every spare part, with technician travel and expenses included.

Most simulator vendors sell the equipment with limited coverage: spare parts are quoted separately, technician travel and expenses are billed on top, damage from misuse isn't covered, and service depends on a distributor or an overseas manufacturer. The APEX service plan includes every spare part in the simulator, technician travel and expenses, and coverage even against equipment misuse. Everything is tracked in APEX Drive+ — our app for support tickets, service visits, and per-unit history — and service is delivered by our own technicians in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and the Bajío region.
