GPS can be sued to find out the shortest and most optimized routes for the school bus so that time is not wasted. Also shorter routes mean less tired and more active children who concentrate on the school and home activities better.

Some common driver habits included liking the engine running idle for long period of times, breaking too much and accelerating suddenly. These habits can be monitored using GPS tracking and drivers can be easily coached by giving reviews and training’s. This will mean better experience for both parties.
