Scholar transport oversight · South Africa
Every child accounted for.
Every trip on record.
EduTransit gives a provincial transport authority, its operators, their drivers and the parents one shared, tamper-evident record of who travelled, when, and with whom.

Each entry is written once and cannot be edited, deleted or backdated.
Scholar transport runs on paper
No record worth trusting
A register filled in at the end of a route can be completed from memory, corrected later, or written up for a trip that never ran.
No view across operators
An authority contracting a dozen operators has a dozen separate accounts of what happened, in a dozen formats, arriving late.
Parents find out last
The people with the most at stake learn a child was not collected from the child, hours after the fact.
The portal
One province, every operator
Operators, incidents and expiring documents, scoped to your jurisdiction and nothing beyond it, with an open SOS announced at the top of every page and figures that refresh themselves.

On the phone
One app, whoever signs in
A parent sees their own children; a driver sees today’s route and manifest. Nobody installs anything different — the app adapts to who signed in.

What it does
Built to hold up later
Records that cannot be quietly changed
Pickups, drop-offs and absences are append-only — no edits, no deletions, no backdating. Enforced by database triggers, not by an application rule someone can route around.
An SOS that goes to more than one place
The panic button raises a high-severity incident and fans out at once to the operator, the authority and the learner's emergency contacts.
Compliance that actually expires
When a licence, PrDP or roadworthy certificate lapses, the driver, vehicle or operator is restricted automatically.
Works where the signal does not
Drivers capture pickups offline and the app syncs later. GPS is preferred and never required, so a rural route is flagged — not blocked.
Tracking scoped by who may see it
The same trip, seen at three different depths. Every read of a learner's record is written to an audit log.
Reports an authority can put in a file
Service delivery, exceptions and the full audit trail, scoped to your jurisdiction and exportable to PDF on a letterhead — the format an oversight process actually needs, rather than a screen you have to describe to someone else.
Who it’s for
Each person sees their part
One mobile app and one web portal, where what you see is decided by your role and your organisation rather than by installing something different.
Provincial transport authority
Monitor every operator in your jurisdiction from one dashboard, and nothing outside it.
Transport operator
Run your fleet, drivers, routes and learner manifests, and keep your compliance current.
Driver
Today's route and manifest on a phone, working offline, with a panic button that reaches someone.
Parent or guardian
Know when your child was collected and dropped off, follow the vehicle live, and report an absence before the driver waits.
How it works
The authority onboards its operators
Operators are approved, not self-serve. Nobody uses the system until an administrator has approved them and their documents are on file.
Drivers run their routes
Each pickup and drop-off is recorded against a learner, a trip and a time, with location where there is signal to capture it.
Everyone reads the same record
Parent, operator and authority see one account of what happened — differing only in how much of it each is permitted to see.
Trust & privacy
Built like a safety system
POPIA-aligned by design
Learners are minors. Their records are handled on that basis, with parental consent required and personal data kept to what the service actually needs.
Every look is logged
Reading a learner's record is itself an event. The audit log is append-only and immutable — including for administrators.
Jurisdiction stays separate
A provincial official sees the operators in their province. The boundary is enforced in the database, not in the interface.
Tracking with a purpose and a limit
Location exists to answer whether a child was collected safely. It is scoped to the people entitled to that answer, and no further.
See it with your own routes
The quickest way to judge EduTransit is to watch one real morning route run through it — the manifest, the pickups, the exceptions and the report that comes out the other end.
