Driver Overview

This guide is for drivers using RouteBot's mobile companion, listed in app stores as Servistesin, to manage and operate transportation routes. Learn how to start routes, manage passengers, share your location, and complete services efficiently.

What Can Drivers Do?

As a driver using RouteBot Mobile, you can:

  • Start and manage routes - Begin pickup and drop-off services
  • Track your position - Share live location with parents and passengers
  • Manage passengers - Review the roster and manually mark passengers who did not board
  • Send notifications - Automatically alert parents when approaching stops
  • Navigate using maps - Use integrated Google Maps for directions
  • Complete routes - Check the cabin, then scan the QR code at the rear inside the vehicle on routes using the post-trip check

App Layout for Drivers

When you log in as a driver, you'll see two main tabs:

Tab Purpose
Services View and manage your assigned routes
Settings Configure app settings, access help, and log out

See Driver Permissions for setup details.

Route Restrictions

Some important rules:

  • Daily tracking record: Each saved route/service uses one record per company-local day. Use separate entries for multiple scheduled departures; restarting an entry reuses its record. See Starting a Route.
  • Time windows: Routes may have specific operating hours
  • Cannot leave during active route: App warns before exiting
  • Screen should stay on: Recommended for reliable tracking
