School bus GPS tracking for Bengaluru schools

Edge-of-city campuses and long commutes

A large number of Bengaluru schools sit on the city's growth edges: along Sarjapur Road, around Whitefield, near Electronic City, off Bannerghatta Road and out towards Hennur and Devanahalli. Their buses run long routes through some of the city's slowest traffic, especially on the Outer Ring Road and the roads into the tech parks. A bus can take far longer in the afternoon than in the morning on the same route.

At the same time, many parents work in those tech parks. The child comes home while the parent is still at a desk, or the grandparents are waiting at the society gate.

Built for parents who are not at the stop

• Tracking from anywhere. The parent app shows the bus live with an ETA, so a parent in a meeting can see the bus is ten minutes out and call home.
• Drop confirmation. With an RFID tap at the door, the app shows that the child got off the bus, not just that the bus reached the stop.
• Several family members, several children. Siblings on different buses show up on one screen, and the app works in several languages, which helps when grandparents do the pickup.

Afternoon traffic and route planning

Because afternoon trips in Bengaluru often run much longer than the morning ones, schools benefit from looking at real trip history before they set routes for a new term. The transport manager can see the actual time each route took, which stops were missed, and where the stop list could be grouped better. Our route optimisation page explains how this works. Staff also get a wrong-direction alert if a driver takes an unplanned shortcut.

A sample set-up for a Bengaluru school

Take a school off Sarjapur Road with routes to HSR Layout, Bellandur and Marathahalli. It might put a 4G tracker and RFID reader on every bus and UHF readers at the main gate. It could add dome cameras on the buses that carry the youngest classes, since those children are on board the longest. The admin console keeps vehicle documents and maintenance due dates in one place. We tailor the plan to your fleet after the demo.

Cameras inside the bus

Parents often ask what happens inside the bus on a long ride. School bus CCTV cameras with IR night vision cover the cabin, a dashcam covers the road, and footage is stored for authorised access only. The live view depends on the school package.

Working with Bengaluru schools

We serve schools in Bengaluru from our head office in Pune, and travel to your campus for the demo and installation. Our school bus blog has practical guides for transport teams, including a morning route safety routine.

Bengaluru school bus tracking: questions

Can parents track the bus from their office?

Yes. The parent app shows the bus on a live map with an ETA from anywhere, and alerts the parent when the bus is about 2 km from the stop.

Will the app show that my child got off the bus?

Where the school uses RFID attendance, the child taps a card on the bus reader when getting off. The parent app shows the attendance.

Can grandparents use the app?

The parent app works in several languages. Ask us at the demo how the school sets up family access.

Do you serve schools in Bengaluru?

Yes. We serve schools in Bengaluru from our head office in Pune, and travel to schools for demos and installation.

Schools nearby: we also serve schools in Coimbatore and Kochi. See all cities we serve.

Beyond GPS, do you offer school bus CCTV cameras, school van tracking, RFID attendance for schools and school transport management software in Bengaluru (Bangalore)?

Yes. For schools in Bengaluru we fit the same 4G school bus CCTV cameras and dashcam, track school vans alongside buses, add RFID attendance, and run everything on the school transport management software. Each part is optional and quoted separately.
