School Bus Tracking App — See Your Child's Bus in Real Time
Stop standing at the bus stop in 42°C heat or pouring rain. Schoolites shows your child's school bus on a live map, sends a notification 2 minutes before it reaches your stop, and tells you the moment your child boards or gets off.

School bus delays in Indian cities are normal — traffic, monsoon flooding, breakdowns, route changes for VIP movement. The Schoolites parent app removes the guessing. Every Schoolites school that runs transport has GPS trackers on its buses, and parents see the same live map the transport in-charge sees.
Built for Indian parents, on Indian phones
Concrete features — no buzzwords.
Live GPS location on a map
Refreshes every 10 seconds. Pinch-zoom to see exactly which lane the bus is in. Works on Google Maps so you recognise landmarks instantly.
Accurate ETA at your stop
Calculated from current traffic plus the driver's historical pattern on your route. Not a guess — usually accurate within 2 minutes.
Pickup & drop notifications
Push alert when the bus is 2 minutes away, when your child taps in (boards), and when they tap out at school or home. RFID and biometric options available.
One-tap driver & conductor call
Tap to call the driver or conductor directly from the app. Numbers are kept up to date by the school transport in-charge.
Speed & geofence alerts
If the bus crosses 60 km/h or strays off its assigned route, the school transport in-charge gets an instant alert. You can ask the school to share these with parents too.
Trip history for 30 days
See yesterday's route, the day before, last week. Useful when you need to verify pickup time or report a route deviation.
Three steps. No setup at your end.
Your school enables Schoolites Transport
The school fits GPS trackers on each bus and maps routes and stops in the Schoolites admin panel. Most schools complete this in 3–5 days.
You download the parent app
Free on Play Store and App Store. Log in with the mobile number you gave the school at admission. Child profile, route, stop and driver details are auto-linked.
Open the Transport tab
See live bus location, ETA, driver name and number, and your child's boarding status. Pinned at the top during pickup and drop hours.
Why this matters for Indian parents
In 2024–25, the average urban Indian school bus runs late once every 3 days due to traffic. A 15-minute uncertain wait at a bus stop with small children is one of the most common parent complaints to school admin. Live tracking removes that uncertainty completely — parents leave home only when the bus is close, and schools get fewer calls.
