Now onboarding founding schools in Kolkata

Know exactly where the bus is — before anyone asks.

RouteSafe turns the driver's own smartphone into a live GPS tracker — no extra hardware to install or maintain. Parents get a live map of their child's bus, and schools get a live view of every route, every stop, every day.

Built by a team that's spent time in school transport offices in Kolkata — now opening the first cohort of partner schools.

"We built RouteSafe after watching school offices in Kolkata field the same 'where's the bus' call forty times every afternoon. It shouldn't take a control room to know where a school bus is — it should take a phone the driver already carries." — RouteSafe founding team

Built for both sides of the windshield

One live map. Two very different jobs.

Parents need peace of mind. Schools need accountability. RouteSafe runs the same real-time data through two purpose-built views, so neither side is left checking the other's homework.

For parents

Always know where they are

  • Live bus location on a map, updated every few seconds — powered by the driver's phone, no extra hardware.
  • Push and SMS alerts when the bus is 5 minutes from your stop.
  • Pickup and drop-off confirmations via the driver's app, so you know your child boarded.
  • Instant delay notices for Kolkata traffic, waterlogging, or route changes.
  • Direct message to the transportation office without phone tag.
For schools & districts

Run routes with full visibility

  • Live fleet dashboard showing every bus, route, and on-time status at once.
  • Automated attendance via the driver's app — student boarding marked stop by stop, synced to your school records.
  • Route optimization and replay for incident review or parent queries.
  • Driver behavior alerts: speeding, harsh braking, off-route detection.
  • One-tap broadcast to all parents on a route during delays or emergencies.
From ignition to drop-off

Set up once. It runs every morning after.

No GPS hardware to source or fit — RouteSafe runs on the driver's own Android phone, and your routes go live within days.

1

Install the driver app

Each driver installs the RouteSafe app on their phone and signs in with a code from your school office — done in under 5 minutes.

2

Map your routes

Import existing routes or draw new ones in the dashboard. Stops, ETAs, and geofences are generated automatically.

3

Invite parents & staff

Send one link. Parents link their child's route in under a minute — no district-managed accounts to set up.

Early access

The Founding Schools Program

RouteSafe just launched. Instead of asking you to take our word for it, we're inviting a small group of Kolkata schools to help shape the product — with real benefits for going first.

Lock in founding pricing for the lifetime of your account — it won't go up as we add features or raise prices for new schools.

Direct line to the founding team. Feature requests from founding schools go straight into our roadmap, not a support queue.

Hands-on setup support — we'll personally help map your routes and onboard drivers, not a self-serve checklist.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

The driver's phone reports location every 3–5 seconds with GPS accuracy typically within 10 meters, so the position shown on the map matches the bus's real-world location closely.

No. RouteSafe runs entirely through the RouteSafe Driver app on any Android phone the driver already carries — there's no separate tracking unit to buy, fit, or maintain.

The app caches the route locally and resyncs the moment connectivity returns, and we recommend a basic car charger as backup — most schools use a spare driver phone as a fallback for older devices.

No. Parents only ever see their own child's route, stop, and ETA. Roster and attendance data stays visible to school staff only.

Most schools go live within a few days — drivers install the app and map routes while parent invites go out in parallel, no hardware shipping wait.

Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime. Annual plans are billed yearly at a discount and can be set up on a custom term for Enterprise.

We collect only what's needed to run live tracking and attendance, and never sell data. Full details are in our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
