busses.csv

This file contains information about all the buses in the fleet. Because we recognize that many school systems do not have this information digitized and easily available, this file is optional and will not affect others if not uploaded. Additionally, Transportant staff will be registering buses during the install process.
This file does not support full imports. This is to protect against removing buses and their associated device installations by accident. Any buses added here will have to be removed manually on the dashboard.

Fields

The bus number. Can be either a number or text. This is the number visible on the exterior of the bus that will be shown to mobile app users. This will also be used for substitute bus notifications to students and parents.

model

Model of the bus.

capacity

Number of passengers the bus can transport.
