How do schools tell parents the bus is late?
With a tracking system, the school does not have to: families see how late the bus is running and how many stops away it is, and are told when it comes within the distance they chose.
In short
With a tracking system, the school does not have to: families see how late the bus is running and how many stops away it is, and are told when it comes within the distance they chose. Without one, the office usually rings round or posts in a group chat.
The School Bus Tracker also tells the school itself when a run has not started 15 minutes after its time, which is the most common reason a bus is very late.
