• Comment: Is Smartbus one company's trademark? All the references seem to be about the same company. You could add this material to Vehicular automation § Buses. You could then propose splitting that section off into a new article. That would seem a much more solid article than just one company's buses. Mgp28 (talk) 17:40, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

A smartbus is a city bus that can move around a depot without a driver. The term is used by some transport media and operators to describe early forms of bus automation that work only in closed areas, not on public roads.^[1]

The term has mainly appeared in trade journalism in connection with depot-based autonomous bus trials by public transport operators in Poland.^[2][3]

The term "smartbus" is used descriptively in these sources rather than as a formal vehicle classification or technical standard.^[1]

A smartbus uses sensors and software to drive short routes inside a bus depot. The system moves the bus to washing, charging or parking spots on its own. It is normally limited to places that are fenced or otherwise closed to regular traffic.^[4]

In 2025 MZA Warsaw tested an autonomous bus that could move by itself inside one of its depots. The trial showed how such vehicles might handle short routes like washing or charging without a driver.^[2] Later that year the company said it was working on a design for a new depot at Redutowa Street in Warsaw. The plan included areas prepared for autonomous operation, though the project was still at the design stage.^[5]

In December 2025, PKM Gliwice began a depot pilot described in trade media as a "smartbus" evaluation, involving driverless manoeuvres in the operator's depot environment.^[3]

Other Polish public transport companies have shown interest in similar ideas. In Jelenia Góra, the local operator MZK announced plans to test an autonomous bus during 2025.^[6] Trade media such as Sustainable Bus and Busworld News reported that the smartbus concept was also shown at Busworld Europe 2025.^[1]

Smartbuses normally use lidar sensors and positioning systems to see their surroundings. A control program decides the route and speed inside the depot. The technology is meant to reduce simple manual driving tasks but does not replace regular drivers on city routes.^[1]
