### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-09-08, version 2026.3.43*

The app is a nice feature to have, I can check to see when the bus arrives and drop off kids. However it would great if the app had accurate information. Thank goodness I have two kids. One kids has the accurate school bus route and the other is still showing his previous school bus route.

### 4/5 — Bus monitoring

*2026-09-05, version 2026.3.43*

Since the beginning of this school term this app has worked very well allowing us to monitor our granddaughter’s bus route and timing.

### 4/5 — Definitely useful

*2026-09-03, version 2026.3.43*

The tracking is a little slow but it’s still working fine

### 3/5 — Bus app review

*2026-09-03, version 2026.3.25*

Half the time the app doesn’t even work!

### 4/5 — Getting Better

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

I would like to see more intuitive GUI for clicking, going back, forward, map navigation and zooming. It’s pretty dependable now though.

### 4/5 — Good but needs improved

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

While I enjoy the app, it would be nice to know how many stops before my child arrives.

### 3/5 — It works when it want to

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

It needs to be updated maybe

### 2/5 — Lags

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

My impression of an app like this is that it’s supposed to help know where the bus is and making sure you’re at the stop on time, that the bus is on time, and any updates that affect these. It’s not helpful when the information on bus location is 2-3 stops behind where the bus actually is. It’s a joke. Better than nothing I guess… ?!

### 3/5 — Okay

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

Lag in updating/need to refresh, doesn’t send my notifications

### 2/5 — Mid

*2026-08-27, version 2026.3.25*

Updates should push to text notifications

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-08-27, version 2026.3.25*

Wrong info

### 3/5 — No Muy Bueno

*2026-08-27, version 2026.3.25*

Nunca da la ubicación exacta del Bus, como Asi la ubicación sale para NY, estando en Pensilvania, realmente para ubicar o ver dónde está el bus, no es muy bueno, también no le veo la lógica de tachar y decir que completo la ruta sin antes terminar de entregar el último niño.

### 2/5 — Severe lag, useless ETAs

*2026-08-27, version 2026.3.25*

This app is awful. Our school used to use a different app that worked flawlessly, then changed to My Ride K-12 this year. This one causes more problems than it’s worth, particularly (1) the bus tracker is woefully laggy, showing where the bus was 2 minutes ago instead of real-time, causing many people to miss or nearly miss the bus, and (2) the ETAs are laughably inaccurate — for example, showing 30 minutes out when the bus is right around the corner. I hope either the developers fix the app, the company fixes the tracking software, or our School District changes back to the other system.

### 1/5 — Invalid CSRF token

*2026-09-07, version 2026.3.43*

I keep getting this invalid token error, error message is not useful for end users, no info how to fix it. I deleted and redownloaded, hoping it’d help but it didn’t. My kid’s school uses this app and I can’t sign up due to that persistant invalid CSRF token error. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-09-04, version 2026.3.43*

Horrible! Barely works!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-09-04, version 2026.3.43*

Tracking doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-09-03, version 2026.3.43*

Half the time it’s doesn’t even show the bus on the map. As if it doesn’t even exist. The other half the time it says location unavailable. Garbage app. I wish JCPS would ditch it.

### 1/5 — Never gives accurate info for my daughters bus

*2026-09-02, version 2026.3.25*

It worked for the first couple months of school last year - about 50% of the time. Since then, it always gives inaccurate info. Told me the bus was 22 minutes late this morning, but it was on time. Similarly for the afternoon drop off, it’s a good thing I was out at the original drop off time because the app told me it would be 14 minutes late. It’s worse than a broken clock which is at least correct twice a day!

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-09-01, version 2026.3.25*

Times are way off.  Kids get off school at 2:10 but tells me drop off is at 2:04

Other times it says drop off has been completed but bus hasn’t even left the school.  

Trying to figure out what time to be at pick up is a gamble; some parents told me last week they had to wait 1 hour for their child to get dropped off (same bus stop but my child hadn’t gone to school that day)

### 1/5 — idk

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

its majority of the time extremely inaccurate

### 1/5 — App does not reflect correct bus times for dropping off picking up child. Consistently is wrong

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

The app is always glitching and it does not give accurate timelines and information about when my child gets off the bus in the afternoon or when the bus comes in the morning. The app will tell me that my son has been dropped off in the afternoon and I’m sitting at the bus stop still waiting for him for 30 more minutes. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2026-08-28, version 2026.3.25*

Does not work well. The bus is on the screen sometime and sometimes not. Sometimes there are two busses. Just not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — not accurate

*2026-08-27, version 2026.3.25*

never on time as it predates

### 5/5 — Extremely helpful and convenient

*2026-09-04, version 2026.3.43*

This app is so convenient! My child just started at a new school and rides the bus daily. Thanks to this app, I always know if the bus is running early or late. It gives me great peace of mind!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

Needs an alert sound preferably when the bus is around the corner or updated time stamp but other then that it’s very very helpful!!!

### 5/5 — HUGE IMPROVEMENT and pretty much accurate

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

Anyone who used this app in the past knows how far it came along🥲

### 5/5 — Best Bus app for parents

*2026-08-31, version 2026.3.25*

This app. is wonderful! We live in a rural area with a longer bus route and sometimes the bus can be up to 10mins earlier or later. Having other kids at home, it’s good to know how much time we have before we really need to be out there.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-08-27, version 2026.3.25*

I love being able to see real time updates if my kiddo is going to be later than expected.

### 5/5 — Ruta sin visión

*2026-08-27, version 2026.3.25*

No puedo ver el recorrido del bus solo veo los horarios

### 5/5 — Happy Mom

*2026-08-26, version 2026.3.25*

I like that I can watch my daughter to school and from school without call transportation

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-08-25, version 2026.3.25*

Very modern system!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-24, version 2026.3.25*

This app relieve stress and so convenient

### 5/5 — Best decision!

*2026-08-20, version 2026.3.25*

Love this app! Thank you for keeping my kids safe!
