Empower drivers with intuitive turn-by-turn routes and instant student check-ins. No invasive dashboard modifications, no long-term equipment leases—just smooth, accountable transit.
COST TRANSPARENCY
Traditional fleet telematics lock schools into proprietary hardware leases and maintenance contracts. Here is the realistic side-by-side comparison:
| Expense Category | Traditional Hardware Trackers | Aura Transit (Software Only) |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Hardware Purchase | $300 – $600 per bus | $0 (Mobile app only) |
| Professional Installation & Vehicle Downtime | $150 – $250 per vehicle | $0 (Install via App Store / Google Play) |
| Dedicated Cellular SIM Contracts | $15 – $35 / bus / month | Included in SaaS (Uses existing phone data) |
| Hardware Replacement & OBD Failure | High (Frequent vibration & wiring repairs) | Zero (Instant app reinstall on any phone) |
| 3rd-Party Contractor Bus Compatibility | Contractors often refuse vehicle modifications | 100% compatible with any driver smartphone |
DRIVER APPLICATION
Designed for school drivers and transit aides. Campus administrators invite drivers with secure credentials—drivers tap the link, log in, select their assigned route, and focus calmly on student safety.
Custom telemetry intervals and sensor smoothing ensure full morning and afternoon shifts on a standard mobile charge without device overheating.
When vehicles drive through cellular dead zones, student boarding timestamps and route checkpoints queue locally, syncing automatically once connectivity returns.
Automated geofence triggers notify campus administrators immediately if a bus deviates from its assigned corridor or exceeds posted speeds.
Automated proximity notifications alert families 5 minutes and 2 minutes before the bus arrives, keeping morning pickups prompt and calm.
RAPID ONBOARDING
Launch real-time route tracking and parent notifications across your campus in under 24 hours. No appointments and no vehicle downtime.
