So here's my take on Here Comes the Bus. I've tested a bunch of school/parent apps and this one's actually pretty good. The real-time bus tracking is super handy and saves you from having to wait outside forever. The alerts are clutch too - no more rushing to the bus stop at the last second. On the downside, the app can be a bit buggy at times and the UI is a little outdated. But overall, it's a solid option if you need to keep tabs on your kid's school bus.

Description

Been using Here Comes the Bus for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you track your kid’s school bus in real-time. Pretty solid if you’ve got little ones who take the bus.

Here’s what you do: you can see the exact location of your child’s bus on a map, so you know when to send them out the door. There’s also alerts you can set to get notifications when the bus is getting close. And the app has a whole bunch of other features like being able to see the bus schedule and stuff. Took me a while to figure all that out, but it’s pretty useful.

Look, if you’ve got kids who take the bus, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the map can be a bit glitchy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

App WAS very useful & accurate in the beginning. It was a great tool to use especially on rainy days and would've been helpful on cold days such as road....

Update: 2 years later and there's no change! It's just an app taking up space. When the app is working, it's good. When the bus is linked to be tracked,...

As all parents of bus riders know, bus arrival times can be pretty variable. This app is great for time management - we no longer rush and worry about missing...
