The Carteret County school district in North Carolina is looking to give parents increased peace of mind by allowing them to use a simple school bus-tracking app to stay on top of the whereabouts of their child's bus.
Aptly called 'Here Comes the Bus,' this school bus-tracking app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices. Once downloaded, the app can be used to track buses in real time, and to let you receive alerts and notifications if the bus is expected to be early or late – or even if it breaks down.
Parents can even customize the app to send them a notification when the bus is a specific distance away from their home, ensuring that they don't waste time waiting to greet their child, while also making sure they're not late to do so.
Easy to use and practical, this school bus-tracking app takes the stress out of parents' day by allowing them to rest assured that they will stay informed about their child's bus at all times.
