Here Comes The Bus

Here Comes The Bus is an easy-to-use website and app that enables parents to see the real-time location of

their child’s school bus on a smartphone, tablet or personal computer.

Using the Here Comes The Bus, parents will be able to:

● Locate your child’s bus before and after school

● Receive a notification when the bus is near your stop

● Confirm that your child’s bus has arrived at school and at bus stop

Please remember, Here Comes The Bus tracks buses, not students. Minneapolis Public Schools does not participate in

Here Comes The Bus’s Student Ridership program.

Here Comes The Bus will send a notification when the bus has crossed a notification radius, which can be

customized in your account. The information is location-based, not time-based. You will not receive an

estimated time arrival for the bus.

Here Comes The Bus tracks buses on regular to and from school routes and afterschool activities routes to a

student’s primary pick up / drop off location (such as a home address).

Limitations of Here Comes The Bus

There are limitations of Here Comes The Bus which will impact families using alternate stops throughout the

week. This is defined as a student being picked up or dropped off from one location one day and another

location another day (such as in the case of partial daycare or shared custody). For these families incorrect

data will show with these altered schedules.

Field trips or athletic trips will not be tracked using Here Comes The Bus.

Support Transportation Services’ website has links for parents with training tips and resources so you’re able to quickly

set up your account and start using Here Comes The Bus.

to enable Here Comes The Bus.
