One live trip powers five views. Parents see the real ETA, kids follow the ride, drivers confirm boarding with one tap, and your dispatch team sees exceptions instead of answering the phone.
Families never pay. Works beside the routing software you already run.
Every morning and afternoon, the same questions land on the same people. Bussaroo answers them before anyone has to ask.
“Should we head out yet? Did she get on?”
Live ETA, delay alerts and a pickup confirmation from the driver, on every family’s phone.
“Which buses are actually coming in?”
An incoming-buses board for the front office, with ETAs, rider counts and exceptions.
“Is 186 late again, or is it the GPS?”
An exception-first fleet view, so your team works the problems instead of the phones.
Bussaroo is built around the trip: today’s run, on today’s bus, with today’s riders. Everything reads from that one live record.
Use the GPS already on your buses, or add a low-cost LTE tracker. Location flows straight to Bussaroo, with no fleet-telematics fee underneath.
Each AM and PM run knows its bus, stops, expected riders and calendar. Substitute buses, weather delays and absences just update the trip.
At each stop the child’s name appears. One tap updates the parent, the kid’s map, the manifest and the agency record, all at once.
Buttons unlock only when the bus is stopped at the right stop. Missed taps queue for the next safe stop.
Kids watch their bus roll toward them on a picture-book map, see friends’ stops as avatars, and build a Ride Streak. When kids check the map, they’re at the stop on time.
Nicknames and avatars only. No chat, no contact between children, and families can opt out of the leaderboard.
Bussaroo sits beside your routing software and existing GPS. Keep planning routes the way you do today; we make them visible to everyone who needs them.

Already tracking buses? Connect the feed you have. No trackers? Add ours, installed.
A mounted phone runs the driver app. No new tablets required.
No trackers on your buses yet? The Bussaroo Tracker Kit arrives configured for your fleet and assigned to the right bus. Cellular service is included, so there’s no SIM, carrier or data plan for you to manage.
The bus updates about every 10 seconds while it’s driving, and more often near stops for accurate pickup times.
When coverage drops, the tracker stores positions and fills in the route once it reconnects. Families see “last updated,” never a frozen dot pretending to be live.
North American 4G LTE that can use more than one carrier network. We own and manage the connection, in Canada and the US.
Runs on the bus’s 12 or 24 V power and sleeps when the ignition is off. Parked buses go into a storage mode for summer.
We monitor each tracker’s check-ins, signal and power, so problems surface in your dashboard before parents call.
If a tracker fails, scan the replacement and the bus keeps its full history. Changed buses? Order a new harness, not a new tracker.
Install it yourself, or have our team install and test it, quoted per fleet. Nothing for families to buy, and no RFID cards or tablets needed. Already have GPS on your buses? Connect that feed instead.
The safest bus app isn’t the one that shows the most data. It shows each person exactly what their role needs, and nothing more.
Live bus maps always require a signed-in, verified account.
The district controls routes and assignments. Parents claim a child with a single-use invite code.
Kids pick an emoji avatar and a nickname. No student photos, anywhere.
Pickup history and driver reports carry audit trails and retention controls.
The district or operator pays for the network. Parents and kids never see a bill.
Everything families and schools need to see the bus.
Everything in Live, plus confirmed ridership.
For large districts and multi-operator fleets.
We install the hardware, import your routes and onboard your families. You measure parent adoption, calls avoided and pickup confirmations, then decide.
