New system will allow parents to track school buses

A new system is set to be implemented soon where all Karwa school buses used by the SEC will be connected to satellites through GPS systems. The system will allow parents to track the buses in which their children board through their phones. School buses in Qatar have the highest stands of safety and security and this new measure will permit parents to directly communicate with the bus drivers to address any issues of concern.

All Karwa school buses used by the Supreme Education Council (SEC) are set to be connected to satellites through GPS, a senior official told local Arabic daily Arrayah yesterday. Omar al-Shahwani al-Hajri, SEC’s director of the Joint Services Department, said an agreement would be made with a specialised company in the field to implement the new system in co-operation with Karwa.  Accordingly, parents would be able to track the buses, which their children board, through their phones. The project will be implemented soon.  He pointed out that  school buses in Qatar had the highest standards of safety and security. Parents could directly communicate with the bus drivers to address any issue of concern.
