What's New in NYC School Bus

7.4.0

August 2, 2026

Bug fixes and UI improvements

User reviews

Bus gps on the app

The gps on the app doesn’t work all the time. That issue has been ongoing and must be fixed in order for accurate bus activity.

Got worse

The app was already pretty bad, with constant login issues and ridiculously short session times. It was recently updated and now is even worse. It used to be perfectly clear where the bus actually was, now the icon takes up a nine square block radius, and you can’t actually tell.

Needs major improvement

This app is not reliable

Horrible

Sometimes it works on the drivers end and not the parents and vice versa, sometimes it’ll show a completely different bus route.

The bus is blocking the view of map

The updated version it is hard to see where the bus is on the map. There is white space around the bus icon that make it hard to see where the bus is on the map. The old version is better.

When trying to zoom in, it pans the map over and not zoom in to the here the bus is.

Not only that why doesn’t it stay logged in and every morning have to log in .
