Real-Time Ride Visibility in Chicago

Peace of Mind, Every School Day

Student Pick Up

Parents get a live notification as the bus approaches, with the driver's verified details and real-time ETA. Chicago's grid layout covers a large area and school routes across its many neighbourhoods require consistent GPS tracking to keep every family informed.

Real-Time Delay Alerts

Chicago's notorious lake-effect weather and downtown congestion can cause school route delays throughout the year. Parents receive an instant alert with the revised ETA and driver details when any disruption is detected.

Missed Ride Notifications

If a student does not board the bus, an immediate notification is sent to both the parent and school. Chicago schools can act quickly without relying on manual communication.

Safe Arrival Confirmations

A safe arrival confirmation is sent to parents the moment their child reaches school. Every trip across Chicago's diverse neighbourhood network is tracked and confirmed from start to finish.

How It Works for Chicago

Simple to Set Up, Built to Scale

Parent Onboarding:

Parents register contact details, emergency contacts, and student information directly on the app. Student photo, grade, blood group, and medical needs are captured digitally with zero paperwork.

Student Profiles:

Each student gets a dedicated profile linked to the parent account. Multiple students can be registered under one account, keeping records accurate and organised for schools.

Emergency Contacts:

Parents set primary and backup emergency contacts during registration. Schools always have the right people to reach, instantly, without manual record keeping.

Precision Pickup:

Parents pin the exact pickup and drop-off location on the map and upload an entrance photo. Captains identify the correct spot every time, eliminating delays and missed pickups.

Flexible Trip Types:

Schools configure pickup only, drop-off only, or both. Routes are built around real demand, keeping operations efficient and vehicle utilisation high.

Optimised Routes:

Swvl's platform generates intelligent routes based on student locations and school schedules. Less time on the road, lower operational costs, and more reliable daily service.

Flexible Billing:

SWVL offers three flexible payment options: monthly, per term, or full year. All plans are managed digitally with a clear fee breakdown before payment is confirmed.

Cashless and Automated:

All transactions are processed online. No cash collection, no manual invoicing. Payments are received faster with significantly less administrative overhead.

Multi-Student Billing:

Parents with more than one student are billed together under a single transaction. Transparent, consolidated, and easy to manage for both families and school administrators.
