Solution by need
A school bus management system, from the route to the parent
If "where is the bus?" fills your office phone, a map alone is not the answer. You need organised routes, a boarding and drop-off record for each student, and alerts for parents, which is what the transport module brings together.
Why schools look for this
"Where is the bus?" calls
The office becomes an enquiry desk every morning and afternoon.
No record of who boarded and left
Complaints are hard to answer and safety suffers.
Drivers and documents
Licences, insurance and contacts on scattered papers.
Changing routes
Families move and stops change, so lists must stay current.
What to look for
An event per student
Boarding, drop-off and absence recorded, not only the bus position.
Useful alerts
Start, boarding and drop-off without flooding parents.
Permissions and privacy
A parent sees only their child's bus and a driver sees the riders of their trip.
Easy for the driver
A simple page on their phone, with no special hardware.
A trip history
Times, distances, counts and a late-trip flag.

Practical notes
The position comes from the driver's phone and the map refreshes every few seconds, so accuracy depends on the network; the recorded events remain the source of truth.
Read the school bus safety guide for a readiness checklist before term and privacy rules for children's location data.
Frequently asked questions
