## What is BusStop Smart School Bus Alert?

For parents, BusStop tells you exactly when the bus will arrive, both for morning pickup and afternoon drop-off, just like your favorite ride-share apps. 

For drivers, BusStop helps reduce wait time and everyday stress. 

BusStop provides an ETA by using the built-in GPS on the bus driver’s phone. 

Parents pay a low monthly fee for peace of mind. Drivers get paid a portion of that. 

Everybody wins.

To get started, download the BusStop app and input your school bus's license plate number. Then get the driver to download BusStop and sign up. For each student that subscribes, drivers are paid! 

The app automatically turns on in the background when the route starts and turns off when the school bus route is done. 

A BusStop Subscription is required for Parents to view the location of the bus. If you decide to purchase a BusStop Subscription, the payment will be charged to your iTunes account. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. You can turn off auto-renewal any time by going to Settings in the iTunes Store after purchase. BusStop subscriptions start at $4.99 USD/month for each bus ETA. Prices may vary in countries other than the U.S. and are subject to change without notice at any time. Cancellation of the current purchased subscription is not allowed upon the activation of the subscription. If you do not wish to start your BusStop subscription, you can still continue to enjoy BusStop for free. BusStop is always free for Bus Drivers.
