The app can also be used to check the estimated arrival time at school or home through notifications.
The initiative will help evaluate the performance of school transport staff by tracking pick-up and drop-off times, considering traffic congestion as well as the start time and end time of students’ trips to and from schools.
Spread across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra region, the app is sure to be a sigh of relief for all parents and ensure kids are safer.!
