10 ways GPS & RFID bus tracking solutions can help schools provide a safe transportation

School GPS and RFID-based bus tracking system provides added safety to students’ transportation and helps address parental concerns. Every day schools ply hundreds of buses to pick up and drop off children and very few schools use GPS technology to track buses and students’ safety.

In today’s hectic life, parents have tight schedules and have to balance between work and rearing children all on their own.
