School Bus Transport
School Bus Management Software Built for School Transport Operators
Busable puts parents, schools and your depot on the same live view — bookings, manifests, tracking and alerts — so fewer calls land on your office.
30-50%
Less back-office admin
Live
Bus position and ETA in the parent's app
Every bus
A live manifest of who has and hasn't boarded
Term
Parents book a whole term of trips in one go
Where's the Bus? Shouldn't Need a Phone Call
Parents ring the office when the bus is late. Schools email a new student spreadsheet every term. And with a paper manifest, checking who got on means ringing the driver.
Who's On Board
A paper manifest can't tell the school or the depot who has boarded and who is still at the stop.
Calls From Parents
Without live updates, parents ring the office every time a bus runs late.
Contract Reporting
On-time running and patronage for the contract holder, pieced together by hand from paper and spreadsheets.
Term Roll-Over
Every new term means retyping the student list from the school's spreadsheet.
How Busable Solves Your Problems
Parents, the school and your depot see the same bus, the same manifest and the same alerts
Know who boarded
A live manifest on every bus shows who is on board and who hasn't boarded, and the school sees check-ins as they happen.
Fewer calls to the office
Parents follow the bus and its ETA in their app, and get an alert only when their child's service is held, late or cancelled.
Term roll-over in one import
Import the school's student list from TASS, Compass or Sentral as a CSV. Every record is checked before anything is saved.
On-time running for the contract
OTR by route and by leg — first stop, mid stops, school drop-off — ready for the contract holder.

Integrated Products for School Transport
Routes, rosters, maintenance, the parent app and contract reporting in one system
Planable™ – Routes and Term Calendars
Routes, stops and timetables built on the map. Set school terms and holidays once and every service follows them.
Rosterable™ – Driver Rostering
Every driver and school run on one board, with award and fatigue limits flagged as you build. When a driver calls in sick, Able AI™ works out who is available and you approve the replacement.
Maintainable™ – Fleet Maintenance
Services scheduled by time or distance, with a warning before one falls due. Drivers report defects with photos, and every job is logged for the audit.
Busable Go – Parents and Schools
Parents sign up from the school's QR letter, book seats for the term and follow the bus live. When your dispatch logs a held or late service, only the affected families are told.
Reportable™ – School Contract Reporting
On-time running by route and leg, plus boarding rates, no-shows and patronage for each school and the whole contract.
