When considering the best school transport for your child, peace of mind is important and that’s exactly what our iRideToSchool tracking app offers. Whether you want to communicate with your child’s bus driver or would like to make sure that your child gets to school and back safely, our easy-to-use app grants you access to real-time information and much more.

2. Real-Time Updates with GPS tracking
You will never have to wonder if your child has gotten to school safely, our school transport tracking system will let you know the moment the bus arrives at school and at your home! Using GPS tracking, you’ll receive real-time updates with precise information about where your child is during their trip.
Adverse conditions, like bad weather, unusually high traffic congestion, or mechanical faults can result in delays. To keep you updated on the day-to-day transport situation, our tracking app includes information regarding possible delays, route deviations, vehicle breakdowns or unscheduled stops, amongst other relevant information.
3. Easy Access from Anywhere
The app can be installed on any smart device, whether that is your tablet or smartphone. This means you’ll be able to log on easily at any time and from any location, whether you’re at home, at work, or running errands.

In case of an emergency or illness, you’ll be able to speak directly to the driver using the iRideToSchool app. The app eliminates the need for lengthy calls or relaying important messages through third parties.

Additionally, this communication goes both ways and the driver may contact the parents if any issues arise.
