Here Comes The Bus, the school bus monitoring app that has already acquired more than a million users, is planning to introduce a more affordable Lite version in 2019. The new version is designed to cater to the needs of smaller school districts which usually do not have smart school bus fleet technology. The app, developed by Indianapolis-based Synovia Solutions, provides real-time GPS-driven tracking info as well as sends e-mails and push notifications to connect parents and students with their bus.
“The market has spoken, and the demand is clear. We’re excited to be able to innovate and deliver a school bus tracking app ideal for smaller school districts in rural or underserved areas,” said Jon King, CEO, Synovia Solutions. “This new version of our signature app will be a terrific opportunity for districts to invest in smarter fleet tracking technology that provide an improved school bus rider experience for their communities.”
The app has already made its mark among parents, students and education officials. It has already earned 4.6 stars on the app store with more than 30,000 reviews.
“We are here in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show because we have a disruptive technology that is delighting customers and changing the ways communities think about school bus safety,” King said. “We want the nation to know that students and parents can lobby their school districts to make the modest investments in the affordable technology that powers “Here Comes the Bus” and significantly improve the school bus experience.”
