Buses and routes

Updated in 5.20.68

The school's buses, each year's routes — morning or afternoon, their stops in order with their times — and the students who ride each route from their stop. A bus never takes more students than its seats.

Who

«School Buses — View» reads the buses and routes. «School Buses — Manage» adds and changes them and puts students on them.

The Routes tab shows the year's routes. Each card says whether it runs in the Morning or the Afternoon, its bus and plate, how many of the bus's seats are taken, its stops and its fee for the year. A full bus shows its riders in red.

The year's routes

A route's stops and riders

Press a route. On the left, its Stops in the order the bus reaches them, each with its name in Arabic and its Time; on the right, its Riders, stop by stop.

1
To add a stop press Add a stop, type its name and its time, and press Save the stops. Each stop's time must be later than the one before it. A stop students wait at cannot be taken off until they are moved.
2
To put a student on the route, choose the stop under At the stop, type the student's name or number under Find a student and press Put on this route. A student already on another route of the same direction is moved; one already on this route is moved to the chosen stop.

Take off frees the seat.
A route's stops and riders

The morning and the afternoon are each their own route: a student can go to school on one route and home on another (to the grandparents, for example), from different stops.

Add or change a route

Press Add a route (or Edit on an open route): its Route name in English and in Arabic, Morning or afternoon, its Bus and its Order on the list. Choose the Transport fee and type the Fee for the year.

Change the route

The fee is billed with the rest of the year's fees when the school presses «Bill the year» (School › Fees): one line on the family's invoice, named with the route, carrying the fee's own tax — the bus can be taxed while tuition is not. A student who rides both ways pays the route's fee once (the higher of the two when they differ); a student who does not ride is never billed the bus.

The buses

The Buses tab lists each bus with its Plate, Seats, Driver and Supervisor and their phones, and its routes this year with how full each one is.

The school's buses

Press Add a bus or Edit. The driver and the supervisor are each From the staff (chosen from the list) or A contact (found by name, phone or email — a contractor's driver, for example), with the Phone the families and the school call. The supervisor marks who boarded on the bus's runs.

Change the bus
A route never takes more students than its bus's seats: the next one is refused with the seats and riders it already has. A bus cannot be given fewer seats than the riders on one of its routes, and a route with riders cannot be moved to a smaller bus, change its direction, lose its bus or be put away. The bus's place on a map is not followed live.
