School Transport Management & Bus Location
Plan your bus routes, stops, and riders in one place, and let parents see where the bus is instead of calling the office. The school office manages transport from the web portal and posts the bus’s position; parents see that position in the Edutris parent mobile app, along with when it was posted.

What does Transport & Bus Location give the school?
Routes and stops planned centrally
Define each bus route and its stops in Edutris, so transport planning lives in one system instead of a wall chart in the office.
Riders assigned to routes
Assign students to their routes so the office knows exactly who travels on which bus, useful every day, essential in an emergency.
Bus location for parents
The office posts where the bus is, and parents see it in the Edutris parent mobile app, with the time it was posted, so the wait at the stop is informed rather than anxious. A posted position, not continuous tracking.
Fewer where-is-the-bus calls
When parents can check the bus themselves and see their child’s route, the front office fields far fewer transport calls every morning and afternoon.
How does Transport & Bus Location work in Edutris?
Set up routes and stops
The office defines each bus route and the stops along it from the web portal.
Assign students to routes
Each bus rider is assigned to a route, so the transport register knows who travels where.
Parents see the route and the bus
Parents view their child’s bus route in the portal and see the position the school last posted in the parent mobile app.
Update once, reflect everywhere
Route changes are made once in Edutris and reflected for everyone, no re-issuing paper route lists.
Who uses Transport & Bus Location?
Transport in-charge / office
Manage routes, stops, and rider assignments from one screen instead of a register and a wall map.
Parents
See their child’s bus route and the bus position the school last posted, from the parent mobile app.
Principals
Know exactly which students travel on which route, with transport visible alongside the rest of school operations.
Is this a fit for your school?
- Schools that need routes, stops, riders and the driver's contact details in one place instead of a spreadsheet.
- Offices that want a mid-year route change to move a student cleanly, without leaving the old assignment behind.
- Parents who want to see their child's route and stop, and the last position the school posted.
- GPS hardware on the bus. Nothing is fitted to the vehicle, a staff member posts the bus's position from the web portal, and parents see it for ten minutes before the app switches to showing only when it was posted.
- A map inside Edutris. The parent app shows a recently posted position as text and opens a single pin in the phone's own Maps app.
- Automatic arrival estimates. “Next stop” is typed by a staff member, not calculated from position and stop order.
- Enforcing bus capacity, a route's capacity and its rider count are both visible, but assigning a rider does not check one against the other.
