Where's the Bus - Real-Time Bus Tracking App
-
Christina School District school buses are equipped with GPS technology that will let parents know precisely when their child’s bus will arrive at the bus stop and help our Transportation Department efficiently manage our bus fleet.
WheresTheBus is a user-friendly school bus tracking system that will precisely identify where the student’s assigned bus is and when it will arrive at his/her assigned bus stop. The WheresTheBus app means peace of mind for parents providing up-to-the-minute ETAs to eliminate the stress of uncertainty.
We are encouraging our parents to try this exciting new technology, as we continually strive to provide the best possible transportation service. Parents will be provided information to create an account to sign up.
