Key Features of the School Bus
Tracker App

User or Parent App

The first screen that any user sees on any child’s school bus tracking apps is the onboarding screen. The parents need to sign in by putting their registered mobile number into the mobile number field. Parents can register their numbers and details by sending an email to the school.

Real-time tracking

The parents can easily track the bus location using the GPS tracking feature called Map. Just like any other bus track app, parents can easily view the live location of their kid on the bus. They can also see if the bus is taking the usual route or changing its course for some reason.

Input Availability

Before any trip begins, the parents need to add the availability of the kids on the app. If the parent has more than one kid on the app, they need to specify which kid will be available or unavailable for the trip. This helps the school admins to keep a track of student attendance on the bus.

Push notifications

The parents get notified when the school trip is coming up, or when the child has boarded the bus, when the bus has reputed or if some emergency has come up. This keeps the parent in the loop. Users also get notified about renewing a subscription or new offers that are introduced.

The main function of the Crew app is logging students’ attendance information on the child’s school bus. The crew members on the bus record presence when the kid boards the bus or marks an absence if the kid is marked unavailable by the parent. This record is sent to the school and parents.
