Product

Three apps. One shared truth:
the bus, right now.

One product, three experiences. Parents know when to send their kids outside. Drivers focus on the road. Schools stop fielding “where’s the bus?” calls. Everyone sees the same thing — the bus, right now.

01 — For parents

See the bus. Stop guessing.

Open the app and the bus is right there on the map, moving in real time. You’ll know exactly when to send your kids outside — no refreshing, no calling the school, no standing at the curb for twenty minutes.

  • Always live, never stale

    The dot on the map moves as the bus moves. What you see is where the bus actually is, right now.

  • Know when to head outside

    Three alerts every morning: when the bus leaves the depot, when it’s getting close, and when it’s one minute away. Your kids will never miss it.

  • Message the driver, safely

    Have a note for the driver? Send it in the app. They see your name; you see theirs. No phone numbers, no awkward calls.

  • All your kids, one screen

    Three kids across two schools? It’s all in one place. Different routes, different times — one app to check.

02 — For drivers

Hands on the wheel. Everything else handled.

The driver app does one thing: helps you get every child to school safely and on time. Big buttons, clear directions, and nothing that asks for your attention while you’re moving.

  • One tap and you’re rolling

    Open the app and tap Start. Your route, your stops, and your students are already there — nothing to set up.

  • Running late? Parents already know.

    One tap sends a delay notice to every family on your route. No phone calls, no office relays — done before the next stop.

  • Check off each child as they board

    Tap a name and the parent gets a notification that their child is on the bus. Simple as that.

  • Eyes on the road, always

    While the bus is moving, the screen stays quiet. Any alerts are spoken aloud. Nothing requires you to look down.

03 — For schools

Run the whole morning from one screen.

Leave the dashboard open on the front desk and you always know what’s happening. Every bus, every route, every rider — without picking up the phone or asking a driver.

  • Your students, always current

    Load your student records once. Add, move, or remove students any time — changes take effect immediately.

  • Every bus on one map

    See where every bus is right now. Filter by route or driver. Know before a parent calls.

  • Answer any parent question in seconds

    A parent says their child wasn’t picked up? Pull up the route history and show exactly what happened, minute by minute.

  • Your name on the app, not ours

    Parents see your school’s branding when they open the app. Your colors, your logo — NextStop stays in the background.
