Boarding Attendance on the Bus Trip

Boarding attendance records each child on the trip, stop by stop, with drop-off at school and at the stop. The office reads the record for any route and day.

How a trip is marked

The trip, stop by stop

The attendant’s screen follows the route in order. At each stop it lists the children due there, and she marks them as they board.

Not boarded

A child who does not travel is marked as not boarded, which is a different entry from a blank. The office can tell an absence from a missed mark, whichever route the child rides and on whichever day it happened.

Drop-off

Drop-off is recorded at the school on the inbound run and at the stop on the return. Both ends of the trip are on the record.

Trips not started

The in-charge sees which routes have not opened a trip yet. Nothing is checked by phone.

What the office can read

Trips are created from the route, so only the marks are entered on the bus. Children boarded are read against children mapped, by route and by day, and trips planned against trips run. The not-boarded alert goes from the office to the parent’s number on the record.

Network and marking

The module runs on the phone’s browser, so a stretch of road without coverage means marks are saved when the signal returns. If nothing is marked on the bus, there is nothing to send or report. Attendant training is done on a real run, at their own stops, before office staff are trained.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the attendant mark boarding without network?

Not today. Marking needs a signal, and on a stretch without coverage the marks go in when it returns. That limit is stated before purchase, since a demo in the office does not show it.

What if the attendant marks the wrong child?

The mark is corrected on the trip. Correct it the same day. The trip record is what everyone refers to afterwards, so a correction made that day keeps it accurate.

Does the driver mark anything?

The driver and attendant login opens the day’s trip, its stops in order and the children due at each. Nothing else is shown on that screen.
