🚌 Bus Safety Kit

UIA follows the government advisory by implementing safety measures aimed at preventing children from being inadvertently left behind inside a school bus.

1. Comprehensive Student Safety: Our commitment to student safety takes a giant leap forward with the integration of advanced video monitoring technology. Strategically placed cameras inside each bus provide real-time insights, ensuring a secure environment for every student during their daily commute.

2. Live Student Monitoring: The new system offers live video feeds, allowing the school to monitor student activities inside the bus. This not only reinforces safety but also provides valuable insights into the student experience during transit as well as reinforces attendance (on and off) on the buses..

3. Real-time Location Tracking: The state-of-the-art system not only monitors activities inside the bus but also provides real-time location tracking. Using this system the school can better monitor where buses are located especially if there has been a delay.
