Live school bus tracking from one phone

The conductor’s phone is the tracker. The school and parents see where the bus is during a trip, with no GPS box, wiring or SIM card to buy.

No hardware to install

Every bus needs one Android phone for the conductor. The same phone records each child and sends the bus position, so there is nothing to fit to the bus and nothing extra to maintain.

  • Bus position every 10 seconds on a live trip
  • Works on the phones your conductors already carry
  • Lost phone? Revoke it and use another the same day

Tracks the bus, never the child

Location is sent only while a trip is running and stops when it ends. Parents see their own child’s bus and nothing else.

  • The school sees every route on one screen
  • Parents see the bus position and how recent it is
  • No tracking after the trip

Know when a bus goes quiet

If a bus stops sending its position, the school dashboard says so. Staff can call the conductor before parents start calling the school.

Common questions

Do we need a GPS device on each bus?

No. The conductor’s Android phone sends the bus position during each trip, so there is no device to buy or install.

How often does the bus position update?

About every 10 seconds while a trip is running. The parent app shows how recent the position is.

Does it work for school vans as well as buses?

Yes. Any vehicle with a conductor or attendant carrying the phone can run a trip.
