Bus 993 has changed the lives of many parents as it has made the communication between them and the driver clear and effective. We all know that while driving, the driver must not attend calls or texts but with our app, they don't have to attend calls from parents as it automatically sends all the necessary information to them. With this app, parents can stay connected to their kids and school bus driver. Now, let us take a look at the numerous features of this app: 1) Mark Attendance - Through this parent app, you can mark attendance to inform the drivers whether your kid is coming to school or not. Just in case, if your kid is not attending the school on some day then mark absent in this application so that the driver does not miss the pick-up of your kid. It also saves the time and fuel of the drivers. Sometimes drivers miss the pick-up just because the kid is few minutes late and they assume that the kid won't attend the school that day which creates misunderstanding. Thus, marking the attendance in this app is the best way to ensure daily pick-up and clear communication. 2) Get Notifications and SMS Alerts - Once you download the app, you will receive notification of every action regarding the school bus.
