Igloobuzz — When comfort meets safety, excellence is born

Connecting school transportation directly with parents

Parent Mobile Application

Igloobuzz connects the school transportation system directly with parents through a mobile application, configured to the school’s policies.

  • Information reaches parents directly
  • Configured to the school’s policy
  • Fewer calls to the transport office
  • Emergency information where enabled

The parent mobile application is how transportation information reaches families without passing through the transport office. Parents receive relevant information about their child’s bus journey and transportation status.

What the application shows is configured according to the school’s requirements and policies — which is a deliberate design decision rather than a limitation. Different institutions have different views on what should be visible to parents and when, and the application is set up to match the school’s transportation policy rather than overriding it.

Where the school enables them, features can include live bus location, bus route information, estimated bus arrival, boarding and drop-off information, bus movement notifications, trip status, alerts and notifications, and emergency information.
