RouteAlert provides a means of coordinating with parents real-time with parents. Communicating with parents (real time) just on time, during the movement of the bus helps in allowing them to avoiding the parents’ worries / frustration during late arrivals. Parents don’t call the school or driver to find out the position of the vehicle.
RouteAlert helps in reducing wait time of drivers at the bus stop, thus reducing idling of the engine, resulting in long term saving of fuel.
It helps in monitoring deviations, over-speeding and thus can keep a close vigil on the drivers. It helps in handling emergency situations. Parents can be informed regarding emergency situations.
RouteAlert provides student information management, which helps the school have upto date information.
Parents & Students
RouteAlert provides alerts to parents and thereby arrests uncertainty and waiting time at the bus stop.
RouteAlert helps in making the parents feel they are in touch with their children, since they know where their kids are a.t any point of time. Parents don’t have to disturb the driver or transport manager or the school authorities
Since the parents can find out the location of the bus at any point in time, the parents don’t have to call the driver while on route, making the commute a safe one.
RouteAlert doesn’t encourage anyone to use mobile phones while driving.
Out of the many intangible benefits, “Peace of mind” is one of the most important and relevant benefits enjoyed by parents. No more frustration over delays or missing the bus. In other words it reduces the worry, stress or agony of parents waiting for school buses.
Long waits at bus stop in trying weather (hot/cold/dusty/polluted) conditions are always stressful. The stress can be avoided. Children become more punctual at the bus stop.
During exams children would want to spend the time at home with their books, rather than wait at the bus stop.

RouteAlert intimates parents regarding arrival of the bus at their respective stops, thereby enabling parents / students to be at the stop on time. Hence the driver doesn’t need to wait at the stop for students.
With RouteAlert, parents don’t need to call the driver to find the location of the bus, and hence it helps the driver in avoiding in answering calls while driving (can avoid fines imposed by traffic police).
