About

Bus Tracker

Features
Read full description

Bus Tracker keeps parents in the loop on a school or group bus. The person on the bus sets up a route and runs it; parents see the bus on a live map and get notified the moment their child is picked up or dropped off — plus a heads-up when the bus is a few minutes or a few stops away. FOR DRIVERS - Create a bus group and share a simple join code - Build your route by importing a photo of a route sheet (on-device text recognition) or by adding stops, mapped along real roads - Run the route and share the bus's live location - Add co-drivers to help take attendance FOR PARENTS - Join with a code and add your child - Pick your child's stop on the map - Choose exactly which alerts you want: picked up, dropped off, a set number of minutes before, or a set number of stops before - Watch the bus move in real time and see arrival times on your lock screen Bus Tracker is built for small school and community bus routes. Location is shared only by the driver while a route is actively running, and only with members of your group.
