Transport
School Bus Route & Stop Management
Routes, stops, buses and every child's bus place, managed in one place, live today.
What transport management does for your school
Set up routes and stops with pickup and drop times, give each bus its driver and attendant from your staff list, and put students on their bus one by one, in bulk or from Excel. The transport dashboard shows buses, seats free, transport fees billed and outstanding, and documents about to expire. Each student's bus history is kept, the bus place ends when a student leaves, and live bus tracking is launching soon in the app.

How it works
Transport management in three steps
-
Set up the fleet
Add buses with their seating capacity, routes and stops with pickup and drop times, and a driver and attendant from your staff list.
-
Give children their bus
Put students on a bus one by one, in bulk for a whole stop, or from an Excel sheet. The bus fee follows automatically.
-
Run the year
Watch seats, fees and documents on the transport dashboard. At year end, bus places carry forward to the new year.
What changes
What your school gets from it
- The office knows who is on which bus without a separate register.
- Seats, transport fees and expiring documents are visible on one screen.
- Drivers see only what they need, never parents' phone numbers.
Questions
Transport management: common questions
Can we allocate buses for many students at once?

What happens to bus places at year end?
They carry into the new year with the students, and a year-end bus report shows who kept their place.
Is live bus tracking included?
Yes. Live bus tracking is part of the transport module and is launching soon in the Patashala360 app for parents and bus crew.
