Mobile App Monday - Here Comes the Bus

Here Comes the Bus is an easy-to-use app that gives you the real-time location of your child’s bus, and alerts you when the bus is near. With Here Comes the Bus, your children will get to the bus stop not a minute too early – or a minute too late. Great for older children, too, as a means to becoming more independent!

Note: Your child's school district must have a contract with Synovia Solutions and make Here Comes the Bus® and/or Student Ridership available to parents.
