The Captain's
Mobile Terminal
Tripzo Partner is the dedicated app for bus captains — with always-on live tracking, digital student attendance, and a complete morning and evening trip workflow, purpose-built for the road.
Built for the Demands of the Road
Every feature in Tripzo Partner was designed for a captain whose hands are on the wheel and whose responsibility is every child on the roster.
Always-On Live Tracking
The bus location updates continuously in the background — even when the captain's screen is off. Parents always see exactly where the bus is, without the captain having to do anything.
Keeps Running All Route Long
Tripzo Partner is built to stay active for the entire journey, even on devices that aggressively manage battery. Location tracking never drops mid-route.
Digital Attendance
Confirm each student at their pickup stop with a quick in-app scan. Supports a manual tap-to-confirm option for students who need it.
Evening Boarding Gate
Before departing school for the evening run, the captain confirms which students boarded the bus at school — ensuring no child is left behind or missed.
Per-Stop Drop-Off Confirmation
At each drop-off stop, confirm students as dropped off. Any student not accounted for is automatically flagged for follow-up.
Morning & Evening Trip Modes
Separate, optimised workflows for morning pickup runs (home → school) and evening drop-off runs (school → home), each with the right controls for that direction.
Slide-to-Start
A deliberate swipe gesture is required to begin a trip, preventing accidental starts that could confuse parents or the admin dashboard.
Route Map with Polyline
Full-screen Google Map showing the planned route as a polyline, all stops marked along the route, and a live bus marker updating as you drive.
Trip Completed Summary
After ending a trip, see a full summary: total students transported, students present, stops completed, trip duration, and a list of any unaccounted students.
Dark Mode Native
A high-contrast dark theme with a custom dark Google Maps style, designed to reduce glare during early morning and late evening drives.
Trip History
Browse past completed trips by date to review historical records, confirm past trips were completed, and look up specific journey details.
Push Notifications
Receive instant alerts for schedule changes, admin messages, and trip updates — delivered reliably whether the app is open, in the background, or closed.
