Truck drivers are usually given an address. Bus/motorcoach operators (not public transit) might receive "lefts and rights" to a location.

I have a feeling that when they "Storrow", they are using GPS for 4 wheelers. Commercial GPS units have information that commercial drivers need, such as forbidden roads.

I had to get a bus to Kenmore legally, without GPS. I would have jumped on Storrow in a car. You have to run through streets in your brain & it is really easy to get caught up on Storrow especially around Charles St.

wasn't there a thing where UPS planned all their routes to minimize/avoid left hand turns before they realized the net impact on fuel was worse?

Yes they tried that and every CDL holder in the US collectively guffawed.
