A pass check your drivers will actually like
Drivers scan a QR pass or tap a card and get a clear answer straight away, even with no signal. Your office gets duties, substitutes, devices and manifests in one place.
Android and iPhone apps: coming soon.

The driver app
Scan with the camera
Point the phone at a digital or printed QR pass. The result appears in about the time it takes to step on board.Tap a card
Use the phone’s NFC reader for cards. Can read existing council school pass cards (read-only, in trial).Offline duty lists
The duty list downloads before the run starts. Checks keep working through dead spots and rural routes, and upload when signal returns.Live blocks
When a pass is blocked as lost or stolen, drivers who are online get it within about a minute.Pass-back protection
If the same pass is used again within a time you set, the check is flagged as possible pass-back so you can follow it up.Clear sounds and colours
Four results, each with its own colour and sound, readable at arm’s length in bright sun or a dark bus.
Four results, no guesswork
Every check ends in one of four results. A problem with the phone or the app never shows as Invalid: it asks for a manual check instead, so no child is left at the stop because of a technical fault.
- Accepted
The pass is valid for this service, date and direction. The pupil boards.
- Already scanned
This pupil has already been checked on this run. Nothing more to do.
- Needs review
Something needs a closer look, such as a pass for a different service or an out-of-date duty list. Do a manual check.
- Invalid
The pass has been blocked or has ended. Follow the council’s agreed procedure.
