School Bus Manager

What School Bus Manager is

School Bus Manager turns student rider data into bus routes and trips with directions, stop times, and maps. It can optimize or modify routes, identify route intersections and overlaps, adjust stops, and reassign riders. Staff can record attendance and monitor who is onboard, while routes can be rolled over from year to year. Rider data can be imported from CSV or XLSX files and Department of Education files. ChildPlus users can export report 1527 and import rider data; compatibility is stated for ChildPlus version 4.6.0.0 or later. Android and iOS Driver Console and Parents App features include live vehicle tracking, attendance, ETA notifications, and real-time rider and vehicle locations. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The full 15-day trial has no limitations, credit card, or contract. Annual plans include Lite at $990 a year for up to 500 riders, Plus at $1,790 a year for up to 1000 riders, and Standard at $3,990 a year for up to 2500 riders; each also has a one-time first-year startup fee. New subscriptions and renewals require a 12-month minimum commitment, and the maker says it does not prorate or refund.
