Abstract: Method and apparatus for guidance of one or more transport vehicles (100). The presence of passengers at a vehicle stop (104) is detected by sensors (106a-c), each sensor (106a-c) being associated with a predefined destination or vehicle route. A traveling intention of the passengers is identified (1:2) based on the detected presence, and a notification (1:3) related to the traveling intention of the passengers is then provided to a transport vehicle (100) driving on a predefined route that includes said vehicle stop (104). Thereby, the transport vehicle (100) is able to adapt its driving route according to the traveling intention of the passenger, e.g. by skipping the vehicle stop (104) if the passenger does not intend to enter the vehicle at the vehicle stop (104).
