Company mission
To modernize the nation's largest mass transit system, school buses.
Our take
In the US, there is a growing student transportation crisis from school bus driver shortages, intricate route planning, and increasing demands from parents and caregivers for better communication and safety. With an estimated 480,000 buses carrying over 26M students daily, and an annual expenditure of nearly $30 billion, the challenges facing the sector are substantial.
To tackle these issues, BusRight leverages proprietary technology including routing software, real-time GPS, dynamic driver navigation, and a bus-tracking app for parents. The platform simplifies route management for school administrators and drivers while offering parents peace of mind regarding the whereabouts of their children.
BusRight saw a revenue increase of over 700% in 2022, as well as minimal customer churn, reflecting the growing demand for its services. Its offering not only streamlines school transportation but also fosters a sense of confidence among caregivers, while allowing school administrators to focus on education rather than transportation logistics - all making it a strong option in the space.
