Versatrans My Stop

This app serves its purpose to let me see where the bus is. I understand that the county can decides to use other features that utilize notifications and our county must not Bc I literally only see where the bus is, and there is a slight delay in that. My biggest complaint, is that having elem and middle schoolers, I can’t link them and see they while logged into the same account. So I take my 2 elem boys (log in for them) to the bus then have to log out and log in for my middle schooler to see his bus which comes next. Then repeat in the afternoon, which involves logging out first of middle schooler so I can log in for elem kids. Then switch again. Versatrans please fix this! Lots of parents complaining at our school about it. Lots of us have kids at more than one school, or most of us will at some point. In 2 yrs, I’ll have kids at 3 schools on 3 diff buses. As far as basic operation though, the app serves its purpose and I can see where the bus is and it’s estimated arrival time. Was super helpful when the bus broke down once.

I would love to be able to let transportation know when my child will not be on the bus in the AM. I’m sure no one wants to make unnecessary stops when they don’t have to. Many children get picked up at their homes in the morning and it seems efficient to know if they weren’t planning on needing the bus. ALSO, it would be nice for the bus to know if we were planning on using the bus. If they are early then they would see I clicked we were coming to school today. Maybe like a “check in” button? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, it would feel nice for the employees to not have to rush at every stop... they think we wouldn’t need the bus just because we weren’t out there right as they pulled up..in the end not having experiences with waving down the bus...(Yes that happened..) I do love being able to know when the bus is coming and this is such an amazing app..just hope y’all keep adding some other great features.

I will be waiting for my child at the bus stop and it was change multiple times from bus is running on time 4:30 (when the current time is 4:45), to the bus is late, to the bus has past your stop. Then the bus will show up. I have tried tracking the bus and it will show the bus at a stop for a long time when I can see if driving through the neighborhood. Then it freezes the bus in one spot very far away and it looks like the bus is no where near. Then the bus magically pops up at the stop but of course the app still has it frozen 5 miles away. I’ve actually never written a review in the 10 years I’ve had an iphone but this was by far the worst app I’ve ever downloaded so I felt compelled to write a review. I was so excited to have the ability to see where my child was and when he was arriving. I guess I’ll just have to cross my fingers another company will come along and actually try to make a working app for this. Until then, there is no point in keeping an app on my phone that doesn’t have even one working feature.

The app works perfectly for my elementary child, but for some reason it’s glitchy for my middle schooler’s. I can easily and quickly switch from one child to the other within the same login. I am not sure if the problems I’m having with not being able to access info on my middle schooler is a software problem or maybe the bus’ hardware is faulty. Other than that, I really appreciate this resource! One suggestion to make it more interesting: change the arrow icon that represents bus arriving at bus stop to a pac-man symbol... imagine how funny that would be 😂 this was a joke in one of our school’s group and I really had to make a suggestion for that! 🙌🏻

It lets me see where my child’s bus is!! It even has an approximate time of arrival but if a bus stop is skipped due to a sick child then that time is not accurate, but that doesn’t matter because I can actually SEE the bus and I know when it will be here. Don’t expect it to be able to predict real world changes like accidents and sick students or those things, that’s impossible. Expect it to show you where your child’s bus is and you’ll be happy. We did have some trouble getting it set up; but once again this was the schools fault and the app developers did everything required to get me going ASAP
