How in the 2023 do we not have a simple tracker on buses that can send location to a phone app.

We actually have that in Hooksett now! It really helps take the guess-work out of when the bus is going to show up, especially if you need to be out there if you have younger kids. For kids in 5th grade (I think) and lower, the bus driver won't let the kids off the bus unless a known parent is there.

Edit: the app/website we use is https://www.buswhere.com/

They added this to Hampstead in the last 2 years at some point. Of course it is not without problems, doesn't work for half days, bus is in the shop or when they have to move buses around. Generally it works really well though.
