BusZone enables parents to see their child’s real-time bus location

Install

BusZone allows parents to monitor their child's school bus location in real-time. Using customizable Alert Zones, parents receive push notifications when the bus approaches these zones or arrives/departs from school, ensuring peace of mind.

Additionally, districts and transportation operators can communicate directly with parents through BusZone, sending important messages about schedule changes, substitutions, delays, and closures. BusZone helps families stay informed and connected with school transportation updates seamlessly.

Constantly has errors. Never tracks when I need it to.

Sean Mc Intyre, 2025-02-03

App constantly logs me out and is not at all accurate with bus tracking. I get 7 notifications that my bus has entered my zone when, in fact, it is nowhere near. It's very frustrating. I hate the fact that when kids have early releases or start delays due to weather, the app does not run at all. Why?...
