The local problem
The Abuja school run.
- Routes from Kubwa, Lugbe, Gwagwalada or along the Nyanya-Karu corridor into Maitama, Wuse or Garki are long, so a missed stop costs real time to recover.
- Long routes mean the first child is collected early, and the order of stops decides how long each child spends on the bus.
- Over long distances, drivers pass through stretches of weak coverage.
- Parents of younger children want to know the moment their child is aboard and the moment they arrive.
How Trayvar answers it
How Trayvar runs it.
- The optimiser sequences each route against vehicle capacity, boarding time and road distance, so the long runs are as short as the plan allows (school bus routing).
- The driver app records pickups offline and syncs when coverage returns.
- Parents get a WhatsApp message at pickup and at drop-off, and on approach.
- Children scheduled but not confirmed aboard are counted as unconfirmed on the Live screen, so the team follows them up during the day.

Questions and answers
Does the driver app work on long routes with weak signal?
Yes. The driver app holds the day's route on the phone, records each pickup offline and syncs when coverage returns.
Can one operator serve schools across Abuja?
Yes. An operator adds every school it serves, each with its own campuses and bell times, and plans and reports on all of them from one dashboard.
How are parents told their child has arrived?
Parents get a WhatsApp message when their child is dropped off, as well as at pickup and when the bus is close.
