[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister has her children in Prince George's county. Parents over there are able to track when the school bus is coming in real time, which makes it easier for parents. Can we agree to use this thread to begin to list reasons why this is beneficial for MCPS and parents? Once we have gathered and generated enough issue would people be willing to utilize their PTA to email the board and council?

1. Real Time bus tracking would cut down on the number of tardies, absences, etc. 
2. A bus app is keeping with modern times and flexibility. 
3. Most parents would be willing to pay between $1-$5 if it is not in the county budget to have this flexibility and freedom.

Please add on below. [/quote]

How do they handle the following situation: Bus breaks down necessitating a transfer to another bus. Everyone downstream can see that the regular bus is stuck somewhere. They would like to know when the replacing bus would reach their stop. In PG county do the apps provide this information?[/quote]
