FAQ

How does Here Comes the Bus work?

• Here Comes the Bus uses global positioning system (GPS) technology to locate your child’s school bus. It's powered by software from Synovia Solutions, who are experts at tracking data, which they’ve been providing to fleet managers across North America for over 15 years. Like other map apps, buses will appear as icons on a map, allowing you to see where it is. It will also send notifications.

Where can I get my student’s ID number?

• Your student's ID number is also the lunch number. If your student doesn't know it, you can find it in the Parent Portal. Your school's registrar will also be able to help.

Do I need separate accounts for each of my children?

• No. You only need one Here Comes the Bus account.

How much does it cost?

• Here Comes The Bus is available at no cost to all families in any school district that has purchased the service.

Is the information private and secure?

• Here Comes the Bus uses HTTPS, just like a bank or online store, which means that all communications between your web browser and the site is encrypted and secure.

Does BCSS use the student ridership feature in the app?

• Student Ridership is student-tracking software that lets parents see when their child has scanned on and off the bus. At this time, we are not offering this option.
