School Bus Routes and Stops

Each route holds its stops in order, the pick-up and drop time at every stop, and the distance slab of each stop. Moving a stop moves the children mapped to it.

What a route holds

Stops in order

The sequence is the one the bus drives. Inserting a stop moves the remaining stops down.

A time at every stop

Pick-up and drop times are recorded for each stop. Parents ask for them, and attendants work to them.

The distance slab

Every stop falls into a slab, and the term fee for a child is raised from the slab of their stop.

The children on it

Moving a stop to another route carries its mapped children along. The list is edited once.

Planning before the term

Stops can be drawn from where children live now. A stop with nobody on it is visible, and so is a route with far fewer children than seats. Buses, drivers and attendants are assigned to routes here, so a route without a driver shows up before the first morning.

A list, not a map

Stops are named the way your area names them, with times and slabs against them. The module does not draw roads, calculate the shortest way round or know about a closed turn. The transport in-charge arranges the route.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What happens when we merge two routes?

Stops move with their children. Seat counts on both buses change, and the fee follows the slab of the new stop if the stop changed.

Can one stop serve the morning route and a different evening route?

Yes. A child is mapped to a stop and a bus for the morning trip, the evening trip or both.

Do we need Google Maps for this?

No. Routes and stops are held as a list. Live location on a map is a separate matter and needs a tracking unit fitted to the bus.
