Transportation & Live Tracking

When a student is enrolled on a school bus route, the Transportation screen shows their transport plan, the assigned bus and crew, live tracking of the bus during a trip, and their pickup attendance. A plan history records each transport plan paid for.

The numbered screens below walk through this page — each section references them by number.

Student feature, when enabled

Transportation appears in the student app's menu, and only when the school has enabled the Transportation module and the student has an active transport plan with a vehicle assigned. If the student isn't enrolled, the menu shows a "not assigned" message instead.

Opening transportation​

From the student home, open the Menu (bottom bar) and tap Transportation.

1
Open the Menu
On the student home screen, tap **Menu** in the bottom navigation bar.
2
Tap Transportation
Choose **Transportation** from the menu grid. It opens the transport dashboard for the student's active plan.

The transport dashboard​

The dashboard summarizes everything about the student's current transport: (see 1)

SectionWhat it shows
Transportation PlanPlan status (e.g. Active), the plan type, its validity dates, and the route name.
Bus InfoThe bus number, the driver and the attender, each with call and message shortcuts.
Live TrackingA live map of the bus while a trip is in progress (see below).
AttendanceThe student's pickup status, pickup point, and pickup time.

Live bus tracking​

While a trip is running, the Live Tracking section shows the bus's current location, its next stop, and the estimated pickup time, so you can judge when it will reach the pickup point. Tap Live Map View to follow the bus on a full map.

2
Open Live Map View
Tap **Live Map View** to follow the bus on the map as it moves along the route toward the pickup point.
Live only during a trip

Live tracking updates only while a trip is in progress. Outside trip hours the section shows no ongoing trip and there is no live position to display.

Plan history​

Plan History lists each transport plan, with its route, validity, shift (service hours), pickup stop, total fee, and how long until it expires. (see 2)

Paying for transport

Transport plans are paid through the same secure gateways as other fees (Stripe, Razorpay, Flutterwave, Paystack, MTN MoMo, Orange Money). Once a plan is paid and a vehicle is assigned, it appears here as Active. See Fees & Payments for how the gateway flow works.

Trip reports​

From the dashboard, My Reports lets the student raise and review reports about a trip (for example a delay or a problem on the route), so the school can follow up.
