This way, you know when the bus is near your stop, so you can send your child out at just the right time. No more worrying about whether your child has missed the bus!

Program FAQs

  • How does "Here Comes the Bus" work?

    "Here Comes the Bus" uses a global positioning system (GPS) technology to locate and track your child’s school bus. It is powered by software from Synovia Solutions, who are experts at tracking data, which they’ve been providing to fleet managers across North America for over 15 years.

    How much does it cost?

    "Here Comes the Bus" is available at no cost to all families. It's free!

    Do I need separate accounts for each of my children? Or separate accounts if we all want to be notified separately?

    You and your children can access all the information about the buses you need using just one "Here Comes the Bus" account.

    Is the information private and secure?

    "Here Comes the Bus" uses HTTPS, just like a bank or online store, which means that all communications between your web browser and the site is encrypted and secure. (That’s what the S in “HTTPS” stands for – secure.)

    I saw a Student Ridership feature on the app. Does Fulton County Schools use this?

    Student Ridership is student-tracking software that can be accessed through the "Here Come the Bus" app. It enables parents to see when their child has scanned on and off the bus. At this time, Fulton County Schools has not decided to offer this option.

    Can I view the website in a language other than English?

    Yes. The "Here Comes the Bus" program was created by Synovia Solutions, and the company has made the website available in Spanish and French. If your computer is already set to display one of these languages, the website will automatically use the same language. Otherwise, you can change the language by clicking the current language (such as English) at the top right of the web page.​​​

    The code for Fulton County Schools is 87428.

    I registered my account and the site is asking for a student ID.

    You should have an ID number assigned to your student by his/her school. If you don't have this already, please contact your school for this information.

    I added my child to my account but there is no bus assigned.

    If the account sign-up occurs over the weekend, it will not show bus stop information. Stops will only show on days that a stop is assigned (Monday-Friday). Feel free to complete your account sign-up and check your child’s stop information first thing Monday morning. ​If issues persist, please contact the appropriate Transportation supervisor for assistance.
