Rising traffic and unsafe conditions have made accidents or mishaps common even in the case of school bus transportation. Most of this can be avoided with proper monitoring and communication by a school authority. A school bus fleet manager may not be able to access the Transport manager web application all time. Our transport manager app has been designed with the aim of helping school bus fleet managers while on-the-go This school bus app provides the school bus fleet manager with the ability to communicate and monitor his/her whole fleet. With the transport manager app, the school bus fleet manager will be able to: • Track parked buses and know whether they are available or unavailable. • Call the driver directly and discreetly through various options such as phone, skype, etc.. • Assign pickup for a single time or for repeated times (like from Monday to Friday) to individual drivers • Instant pickup can be assigned in case of such one-off instances. • The status, location and other details such as name, parked time, etc... of buses are graphically represented on a map.
