Route tracking, boarding checks and parent alerts for school transport
Request a demonstrationA parent in Bonapriso waiting at 6:40 for a bus that is stuck in traffic at Ndokoti has no way of knowing that. So they call the school, the secretary calls the driver, and by the time anyone knows anything the bus has arrived. Multiply that by three hundred families.
Opes SchoolBus removes the guessing. Parents see where the bus is and get a message when their child boards and when they get off. The school gets a record of who was on which bus, which matters most on the day something goes wrong.
Parents follow the bus on its route with an estimated arrival at their stop, so children wait indoors rather than at the roadside.
Each child is scanned or ticked on and off. A child who did not board is flagged before the bus leaves the stop.
SMS or app notification on boarding, on alighting and on delay. Parents stop calling the school office to ask where the bus is.
Only guardians registered for that child may collect them at the stop, recorded by the monitor on the bus.
Speed, harsh braking and route deviation recorded where trackers are fitted, giving the school something concrete to act on.
The monitor raises an incident or SOS from the bus, alerting the school and the affected parents at once.
Private and international schools, school groups running their own transport, contracted school transport operators and nursery and primary schools in Douala and Yaoundé.
Stops, timings, assigned bus, driver and monitor set per route. Children are allocated to a route and a stop.
The bus departs, tracking begins, and each child is checked on at their stop with an SMS to the parent.
Arrival is logged and the register is reconciled. Any child expected but not aboard is reported to the school office.
Children are checked on at school and off at their stop, released only to a registered guardian.
The school reviews punctuality, route timing, incidents and driver behaviour, and adjusts routes on evidence.
No. Boarding and alighting alerts go out by SMS to any handset. The live map is a bonus for parents who have a smartphone, not a requirement.
A GPS tracker for live position and a phone or tablet for the monitor to check children on and off. Both are inexpensive and locally available.
Yes. A temporary change is recorded for the day with parental authorisation, and the monitor sees it on their list, so a one-off arrangement does not become a safety gap.
The monitor records it, the child stays on the bus, and the school and the parent are alerted immediately with the bus location and the next action.
