## What is Shady Way?

Choose your bus seat with a clearer view of the sun.

Enter your origin, destination and departure time, then choose whether you want shade or sunlight. Shady Way models the sun along the road and recommends the left, right or either side—with confidence and reasons you can inspect.

WHAT YOU CAN SEE
• Route-based clear-sky sunlight estimates
• Left, right or either-side recommendations
• A confidence level with an explanation
• A journey map and sunlight breakdown
• Forecast context shown separately from the geometry result
• An estimated bus duration with visible assumptions
• Optional current location and manual place search
• Shareable trip plans

DESIGNED FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Choose from Solstice, Wayfinder and Joyride visual themes. Use Shady Way in English, Turkish, Latin American or European Spanish, and Brazilian or European Portuguese. The interface adapts to iPhone and iPad.

IMPORTANT
Shady Way provides estimates, not guarantees. Buildings, terrain, curtains, tinted glass, vehicle direction and route changes can affect actual sunlight. Road routing is used to estimate an intercity bus journey and is not a live bus timetable.

PRIVACY
No account is required. Shady Way does not create a behavioral profile or store trip history on its servers. Place, route and forecast requests are processed transiently by the service providers described in the privacy policy.
