The local problem
The Lagos school run.
- Journeys that cross the bridges between the Mainland and the Island, or run along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, swing widely with the traffic, so a route that works on Monday can be late on Tuesday.
- The first pickup moves earlier as the route gets longer, and parents want to know exactly when the bus will reach them.
- One school can draw children from Lekki, Ajah and the Island at once, which makes routes long and uneven by hand.
- When the bus is late, parents call the school and the school calls the operator: everyone wants the same answer at once.
How Trayvar answers it
How Trayvar runs it.
- The optimiser sequences each route against bell times and road distances, with traffic taken into account where it matters.
- Parents get a WhatsApp message when the bus is close, and when a route runs late the operator sends its parents the new time.
- Each child taps aboard, so the school and the operator see the same record of who is on the bus.
- The Live screen scores every route against its target time, so lateness is a number, not a phone call.

Questions and answers
Can Trayvar plan routes around Lagos traffic?
The optimiser sequences each route against bell times and road distances, with traffic taken into account where it matters, and every route is scored against its target time once it runs.
How do Lagos parents know the bus is late?
Parents get a WhatsApp message when the bus is close. When a route runs late, the operator sends its parents the new time from the dashboard.
Can a small fleet use Trayvar?
Yes. Each tier carries a billing floor: the Starter tier bills for at least 5 vehicles, so a smaller fleet is billed as 5 and gets the full Starter features.
