SchoolBusTrack is a smart and user-friendly system designed to help parents monitor their children’s daily school transportation with ease. It allows real-time school bus tracking, instant alerts when the bus is approaching, and notifications when a child boards or exits the bus, giving parents peace of mind throughout the journey.
SchoolBusTrack includes:
- Two Flutter mobile apps for parents (guardians) and drivers
- A powerful admin panel built with a Laravel API backend and a Vue.js web interface
Key features and benefits:
- Built with Flutter, enabling a single codebase for both Android and iOS apps on Google Play and the App Store
- Parents can track multiple buses at the same time, even if their children attend different schools
- Support for multiple guardian sub-accounts, allowing shared access with limited permissions
- Parents and drivers can register directly through the apps, with driver accounts requiring admin approval
- Parents can add multiple children from the app, with student approval managed by the admin
- Each student can be assigned to separate morning and afternoon routes, even across different schools
- Nearby pickup and drop-off stops can be selected by parents based on routes created by the school admin
- Per-student notification settings, including alerts for bus proximity, arrival, pickup, and drop-off events
- QR code-based student check-in system used by drivers, generated directly from the parent app
- Flexible subscription plans for schools or parents, including one-time or trial plans
SchoolBusTrack offers a complete multi-school bus tracking solution with real-time visibility, secure access, and flexible management for parents, schools, and drivers.

- Track the trip from the guardian app.
- Navigate the route as the driver. When your location is close to the student, an alert will appear in the driver app to slow down. When the driver reaches the student’s location, a pop-up will appear to allow the driver to scan the student’s ID to check him in.
