4. Please contact your school district or Synovia Solutions for more information, including applicable costs.
5. See the exact location of your child’s school bus using your own customizable map.
6. Confirm your child’s bus has arrived at the bus stop and at school, both before and after school.
7. Here Comes the Bus lets you keep tabs on each one.
8. Be notified when the bus is within five minutes of your stop, has a schedule change and more.
9. Have children that ride separate buses?
10. To use Here Comes the Bus, parents must obtain a private ID number, which grants them access to their child’s bus only.
1. When the app worked it was useful, but no with cold weather and it being useless I am very frustrated by the inability to reset the password/ get into the app once it was installed on a different phone.Works great with the right information, when they sub a bus they don't update the tracking so you have no idea what's going on.
2. Otherwise, it's just a waste of storage space on my phone.For the last 2-3 weeks the app hasn't been accurate.
3. It's been very confusing, giving me wrong information if any at all, and been so frustrating.
4. I don’t know, though, whether this is a problem with the app, or the district switching bus routes and not sending updates.Since I have changed phones in Nov, I have been unable to log in to the app.
5. When it works and when the drivers utilize it, it's an amazing tool, especially during winter months.Today was our first use of the app, and it worked great! We have had issues successfully getting a recently arrived Ukrainian onto the bus.
6. Issues range from getting notifications of the bus coming way AFTER it already came and went, some days I don't get notifications at all, or it'll go to my email (which is NOT enabled in my settings) instead of my phone.
7. The map no longer shows on my device, it's Google maps on an Android phone.I have only had this for a month and have had to reinstall 4 times (today being the 5th install).
8. The school district has also been unable to help.
9. Have to reinstall this garbage almost monthly just to get it working.Lately, it has constantly shown the bus is not in service, showing no bus on route and a red sign for our stop.
10. We have also gotten notifications super late, way after they've already been picked up or dropped off.
11. Two phones with the app install side by side setup for the same student will routinely show different information.
