It's about time. Finally a parent could see were there child is at while on the bus. I'm tired of seeing on the news that at child got dropped off at a wrong location because the drivers are not paying attention.

I bought my daughter a phone and tracked her on Google's Family Link. The district also uses Where's The Bus, but that doesn't help you know your child got on and off safely. This is a combo of both. This is amazing for parents!

Parents really need this information ...
Kids are the most precious cargo that's handle by any type of transportation service out there...
This is well needed 💕🙏🥰 Get our kids home safe & know there location at all times on a School Bus...

Even the contract they received from San Francisco unified School district is under a lawsuit that the deal was made in shady terms of manipulation and payouts

Do a better job at investigating reporting on these new systems the company claims to be the first but this is an old technology that's in use

The owner of zoom is one of the biggest liars I've ever seen we were told the LIE of this is a family-oriented company for the whole year that we started the company and did everything to get it going not once that we see any of the owners come around or even think for the work that we've been doing with no assistance or help from the higher-ups all workers are from first student and most are planning to go back to for students

[parwizshahab]

Most of their buses are not in compliance have major issues and dirty dvirs that have not been resolved all workers are complaining of being overworked and underpaid

[parwizshahab]

Don't fall for the false advertising of this product it is not on a protective server no security on the system and 90% of the time it does not work

Teachers should be filmed at all times to make sure they are doing their job and not using children to push their political or sexual views and lifestyle.
