School bus and transport

School transport management: tap on the bus, parents know.

Set up routes and buses, assign each child, and record who got on and off with a tap of their NFC card.

Live today on the web and the app

For the bus attendant

Each child taps on. Each child taps off.

At each stop Mr Garba holds the child’s NFC card to his phone. On the way home he taps each card again.

  • Driver or attendant taps each card on the app.
  • Recorded at pickup and at drop-off.
  • A card reader or a tick on the web works too.

For the parent

Tobi’s dad is told he is on the bus.

With transport alerts on, Tobi’s parents are alerted at pickup. The drop-off sends its own.

  • Alerts at pickup and drop-off, when turned on.
  • In the app and by push notification.
  • Parents see the child’s route and bus.

For the transport officer

Routes, buses, and who rides which.

The school sets up routes and buses, then assigns each child. One list shows who tapped on, and who did not.

  • Routes, buses and assignments, set up by the school.
  • The morning on one list: who tapped on, and when.
  • The same card works at the library and ID check.

Questions

What schools and parents ask us first.

What does the driver or bus attendant use?
The SchooWare app. They hold each child’s NFC card to the phone; a card reader or a tick on the web works too.
Do parents get an alert for every ride?
Yes, at pickup and drop-off, when the school turns transport alerts on. Alerts arrive in the app and by push notification.
What if a child leaves the card at home?
The ride can still be recorded with a tick on the web, so the day’s list stays complete.
Is the bus card a separate card?
No. The child’s one NFC card also borrows library books and verifies the ID card.
