The Problem

School transportation should not depend on phone calls.

Every morning, school offices get the same questions:

  • πŸ“ž "Where is the bus?"
  • ⏱️ "Why is it late?"
  • πŸŽ’ "Has my child been picked up?"

When transportation information is spread across phone calls, spreadsheets, paper records, and different systems, it becomes hard to manage and wastes a lot of time.

πŸ“ž

Too many "Where is the bus?" calls

Parents often call the school because they have no easy way to check where the bus is.

🚌

No clear view of buses

School staff cannot easily see all active buses and routes in one live system.

⏱️

Unclear arrival times

Without live tracking, both parents and school staff can only guess when a bus will arrive.
