Send your child to the bus stop at just the right time.

Features & Capabilities

Here Comes the Bus® is a user-friendly Chrome extension that enables parents to monitor the real-time location of their child's school bus. By accessing a customizable map on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can send your child to the bus stop just in time, avoiding long waits in unfavorable weather or traffic conditions.

Key features include precise tracking of bus arrival and departure times, email or push notifications when the bus is near or if schedules change, and support for tracking multiple children on different buses. User privacy is safeguarded through the use of private ID numbers, which restricts access to only the buses assigned to your child. Please note, the app requires your school district to have a contract with Synovia Solutions to provide access.

User Reviews

Users praise real-time tracking and customizable alerts that reduce morning stress, but reliability varies. Proximity/location data and diversion awareness are valued, yet frequent updates failures, late notifications, login problems, and map glitches undermine reliability when timing matters.

Pros

Real-time bus location tracking and visibility of arrival/departure times.
Customizable stop radius and timely proximity notifications.
Reduces morning stress and improves safety by knowing when the bus is near or arriving.
Alerts about delays or diversions due to accidents help with planning.
Integral part of school routines, making pick-up/drop-off smoother.

Cons

Location updates sometimes fail to refresh or show Not In Service/No DATA, making the data unreliable.
Notifications can be late or missing, reducing usefulness.
Login/account access issues (can't log in, invalid account, broken confirm password button).
Occasional glitches and map/data errors (glitches, freezes, No DATA on maps).

Recent reviews

The "Here Comes the Bus" app is completely useless and dangerously unreliable. As a parent, reliability and accuracy are non-negotiable when it comes to anything involving my children. The inconsistancy causes panic no parent should experience. Constant delays, fake updates, incorrect scans and login issues make this app a nightmare. It creates stress, not safety. No parent should have to question their child's safety due to inaccurate data that’s supposed to provide peace of mind. AVOID IT! : (

I find this app amazing! It's reassuring to know our children are where they need to be and that they are SAFE! I'm pleased our school system uses it!!!
