Routes & driver app
School bus route software with a driver app on every phone
Add each student's stop and the school, and FleetCommander works out the route's times. Assign a driver and a bus to the morning and afternoon runs, and every driver sees their day on their phone — no app to install.
What you get
- Routes built from stopsEach student's name, address, pick-up time and parent phone; the route starts at the first stop and ends at the school, with a morning and an afternoon run.
- A driver per runOne driver for the morning pick-up and another for the afternoon drop-off if you like — double-bookings are caught when you assign.
- Recommend a driverSuggests the nearest free driver with valid credentials for the route's times.
- My Day for driversToday's routes, stops with tap-to-call numbers, special instructions, the aide, and a chat with dispatch — on any phone.
- Drivers always toldA notice the moment a route is assigned, changed, handed over or cancelled.
- Timelines and the ScheduleEvery driver's day by the hour, a week per driver, and a calendar with bank holidays.

Questions
- Do drivers need to install an app?
- No. My Day works in the phone's browser — drivers sign in once and add it to their home screen.
- Can a route have different morning and afternoon drivers?
- Yes. Each run can have its own driver and bus, and the app stops two drivers being put on the same run by mistake.
