This app comprises two modules - 'Ez School Bus Locator-Parent' and 'Ez School Bus Locator-Attender'. Both these modules work together and need to be downloaded separately from the Google Play Store.

- QR Code scanning so students can check in and out from the bus
- GPS to track the bus location

The solution is acclaimed for its highly intuitive User Interface (UI) design that works in two modes:
