School Bus Tracking App: Real-Time Student Transport Monitoring
A ride-hailing-inspired mobile application that connects students and school bus drivers in real time. Track bus location, receive on-the-way notifications, manage attendance, and monitor payment dues — all in one app built for safe and organized school transportation.
Project Overview
The School Bus Tracking App is a mobile solution designed to modernize school service transportation management. Inspired by ride-hailing apps like Angkas and MoveIt, it brings real-time GPS tracking and smart notifications to the school bus experience — making it safer and more convenient for students and drivers alike.
Each school service has pre-assigned passengers (students) per bus. Through the app, passengers are notified when the bus is on its way so they can prepare and head to their pickup point on time. They can also view the live bus location, estimated time of arrival (ETA), and their payment due date for the service.
Drivers can register, log in, update their GPS location in real time, and manage passenger attendance through a built-in checklist. The app also displays key bus details such as driver name, plate number, bus model, and contact number — giving students and parents full transparency and peace of mind for every trip.
