School bus tracking, live on a map.

GPS trackers on your buses send their position to Chalkbell. The office and parents see where the bus is right now, so "where is the bus?" stops being a phone call.

What it is

Chalkbell's school bus GPS tracking shows every school vehicle's live position on a map. GPS trackers fitted in the buses report their location; the transport office sees all vehicles at once, and each parent sees their own child's bus in the school's parent app. Routes, stops and which student rides which bus are managed in the same system, and transport fees are charged through the fee module.

What you get

Live map for the office

Every vehicle on one map, with its route. The transport in-charge can answer a parent in seconds.

Bus screen in the parent app

Parents open the app and see their child's bus, without calling the driver or the office.

Routes and stops

Build routes with their stops and timings. Change a route once and every allocation follows.

Per-student allocation

Each student is given a route and a stop, so the office knows exactly who should be on which bus.

Driver app

Drivers and attendants have their own simple screen in the same app.

Transport fees included

Transport charges are a fee head like any other, so they appear on the same receipt and defaulter list.

How it works

  1. GPS trackers are fitted in your buses (we can use ones you already have).
  2. We set up routes and stops and allocate students.
  3. The office watches the live map; parents check the bus in the app.

Who it's for

  • Schools that run their own buses or vans
  • Transport in-charges who spend the morning on the phone
  • Parents of young children who wait at the stop
  • Schools that charge transport fees by route or distance

Questions schools ask

Can parents track the school bus on their phone?

Yes. The school's parent app has a bus screen that shows the live location of the bus their child is allocated to.

What hardware is needed for school bus tracking?

Each vehicle needs a GPS tracker that reports its position over mobile data. Chalkbell can work with trackers a school already has; we confirm the model during setup.

Can we manage bus routes and stops in Chalkbell?

Yes. Routes, stops and timings are set up in the transport module, and each student is allocated to a route and stop.

Are transport fees part of the same system?

Yes. Transport is a fee head in Chalkbell's fee module, so transport charges appear on the same receipts, ledger and defaulter lists as tuition.

Works with

Every module writes to the same student record, so nothing is typed twice.
