Introduction to Ridership
"Ridership" refers to all the things that, put together, allow you and other stakeholders to track your buses and students:
- Clean and correctly formatted student and guardian information, which might involve integration with other services that you use, such as routing programs or student information systems
- Well defined routes and stops
- The use of bus passes (fobs, RFID cards, barcodes, etc.) by students and drivers
- The Bus Compass parent app
In this section of the knowledge base you will find more information about putting these pieces together into a coherent whole.
