Road closures near my schools before the buses leave
Road closures near your schools sent to bus drivers before each run.
What it does
Twice a day: road closures within 3 km of each school, and when there are any, a WhatsApp message to the bus drivers.
In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, 13:00, take your table, find road closures and roadworks, keep those where incidents_nearby ≥ 1, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A closure discovered on the way makes children late. Two checks a day, before the morning and afternoon runs, are enough.
Who it is for
Education & training. Schools, nurseries, universities and training companies planning campuses, enrolment and partners. Every use case for education & training
Best use cases
- A school group
- A school bus operator
- A university shuttle service
What each run gives you
- WhatsApp to drivers
The time it saves
Every day at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 10 minutes each time; it runs about 60 times a month, so it saves about 10 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
