The color:
The bright yellow color of the buses makes them stand out and nobody overtakes or violate the rules with the school buses.
The technology:
With advancement in technology, many schools are opting for GPS, cameras, WI-FI in their school buses to ensure students safety and retaining parents trust!
Automatic door:
This is an advantage for the driver with just a button press. There is no need to physically open or close the doors at every stop and this helps the driver or the conductor. Also, closing the door becomes an issue when done manually and needs to be confirmed every time!
Better seating:
With the latest technology, the school buses can be fit with the best seating for the driver and the students, as drivers need a better view of the road, the blind spots, the rear and side view, all the time and even children would find travel, hassle free if the seats are really good.
GPS:
GPS helps to track the school buses and gives advantage to the parents and school. The buses can be monitored for driver behavior, student’s behavior and plays a major role in avoiding bullying in buses. GPS also helps in finding the best route so that the buses are on time, every time!
If the trips aren’t planned smartly, time gets delayed in reaching the school in the mornings and late drops in the afternoons. The parents can locate the bus accordingly by checking the bus status.
Cameras:
This is a gift to put an end to any untoward behavior, in the school buses. As cameras are recording, the driver or the conductor and the children know they are being monitored. This avoids bullying/ragging where no teachers or parents are watching. Any rash driving is also under the camera lenses.
Better Mirrors:
There are better mirroring systems available now for vehicles which enable a clear vision for the driver both at the side and rear view. This helps him to drive better.
Wi-Fi/connectivity for the drivers:
This helps the drivers to stay connected online all the time while travel. Better connectivity is achieved as anyone can contact the bus through WI-FI. Alert to parents and school like “bus arriving on time”, “bus on route X is delayed by 15 mins”, etc. can be shared.
Tablet:
Every bus can be given a tablet connected at the driver’s seat to help him choose the best route and big screens give a better view.
Staying updated and adapting to new technology, schools can provide the best to the students, by going that extra mile!
