One platform
Two sides of the same journey
Parents get peace of mind. Schools get control. Drivers get a clear plan. All of it works from the same information.
For Parents
The Parent App: know when the bus is close
A simple, reassuring view of your own child's bus journey, made to be opened on a phone in a few seconds.
- Follow your child's assigned bus during a trip.
- Get pickup, arrival and drop-off updates in the app.
- See when the bus is approaching your child's stop.
- Look back at past journeys.
Privacy first. A parent can only see their own linked children,
and never other families' information.

How it works
From setup to a safe arrival, in four steps
No technical skills needed to run it day to day.
-
1
The school sets up transportation
Assign buses, drivers, routes, students and stops.
-
2
The driver starts the trip
The driver app reports the trip and its location while the trip runs, as long as the phone allows location tracking.
-
3
The school monitors the journey
Authorised staff can see buses and active trips on the live map.
-
4
Parents receive journey updates
Parents get relevant pickup and arrival updates about their own children.
Features
Built around how school transport really works
Everything below is part of the working system. What is still being proven is listed honestly at the end.
Live bus tracking
Bus positions come from the driver's phone while a trip runs, and appear on the school's live map with the route and stops.
Routes, stops and assignments
Build routes with ordered stops, assign each student to a stop, and give each bus a driver and an attendant.
- Student transport assignments
- Morning and afternoon trips
Journey updates for parents
Parents see their own child's journey and receive trip, pickup, arrival and delay updates in the parent app.
- Restricted map view
- Journey history
Live fleet map
Every running bus on one map for authorised staff.
Driver and vehicle management
Drivers, attendants and buses, with simple driver sign-in.
Trip monitoring and status
See which trips are running, finished or delayed.
Incident reporting
Drivers can report incidents from the app, and staff see them.
Works when the signal drops
The driver app keeps its readings and sends them when it reconnects.
Records and reports
Ten reports, downloadable as CSV or PDF.
School-level access control
Five roles, each school's data separate from every other school's.
Mobile-friendly
Parents can install the parent app from their phone's browser.
Your school's look
Your school's name and logo appear for your staff and parents.
Honest status
SafeBus has been tested with demo data and simulated trips. Real-road pilot testing with a school is the next stage, so we do not publish accuracy or uptime promises yet. Phone push notifications, SMS and WhatsApp alerts are planned, and are not switched on today: parent updates appear in the parent app.

Why SafeBus
More than a GPS tracker on a bus
A tracker shows where a vehicle is. A school transport platform also knows who is on it, where it is going, and who needs to be told.
An ordinary vehicle tracker
Good at one thing: showing a vehicle.
- Mainly shows the vehicle's location.
- May give basic movement and speed information.
- Usually does not manage the student transport workflow.
- May not offer school-specific parent updates or student assignments.
SafeBus
Tracking plus the school transport workflow.
- Vehicle tracking combined with school transport management Working
- Driver app for assigned trips Working
- Parent app for their own child's journey Working
- School admin dashboard for fleet and trip oversight Working
- Student, route and stop assignments Working
- School-level data separation and access control Working
- Arrival estimates and delay alerts Testing on real roads
"Working" means built and tested with demo data. Real-road pilot testing is the next stage.

Privacy and trust
Children's information is protected by design
Access follows each person's role and school. We explain what is built in, and we do not claim certifications we do not hold.
Parents see only their own children
A parent's account is linked to their own children and nobody else's.
Schools are kept apart
Each school's information is separated inside the database.
Secure sign-in
Administrators and parents sign in with a password plus a one-time code sent to their e-mail. Pages use an encrypted connection.
A restricted parent map
Parents get a limited view of the journey, not a view of the whole fleet.

FAQ
Questions schools ask us
What is SafeBus?
SafeBus is a school transport platform with three parts: a driver app, a parent app, and a dashboard for school staff. Together they help a school run its buses and let parents follow their own child's journey.
How does bus tracking work?
The driver starts a trip in the driver app. While the trip runs, the phone sends the bus's location to SafeBus, which shows it on the school's live map. The phone needs location switched on and permission for the app to use it.
How do parents access their child's bus information?
The school invites each parent by e-mail. The parent signs in with a password and a one-time code sent to their e-mail, and then sees only their own linked children. The parent app can be installed from the phone's browser.
Can a school manage multiple buses?
Yes. A school can manage its buses, drivers, attendants, routes and students, and see every running bus on one live map.
What does the driver need to use the system?
An Android phone with the SafeBus driver app, mobile data, and location permission. Drivers sign in with a driver code and password given by the school.
What happens if GPS or internet connectivity is interrupted?
The driver app keeps its readings on the phone while it has no signal and sends them when it reconnects. The school can see a bus that has stopped reporting.
How is student information protected?
Access depends on the person's role and school. A parent sees only their own linked children, each school's data is kept separate, and sign-in uses a password plus an e-mailed one-time code. See the privacy notice for more.
How can our school request a demonstration?
Use the form above or e-mail us. We will arrange a walk-through for your school.
What does SafeBus cost?
Pricing has not been published yet. It depends on your school's needs, so please request a quote.
