We’ve just spotted that Prentice Coaches have the ability to provide live bus tracking information for all it’s bus services. Click the links and you’ll get magical popup to the Live Tracking App.
121 Haddington to North Berwick
123 Gifford Circle (Morning school run)
Prentice will be using Pinpointers’ tracking software, which we notice can also be integrated with booking software (at a cost). But why would knowing where a bus is matter to anyone? Pintpointers state:
For example, if a coach operator was carrying children on a school trip, the new system would provide parents and teachers with accurate, real-time updates on exactly where the coach is and therefore when it is going to arrive. This would avoid children having to wait by the roadside, improving safety and comfort.
All of which seems quite nice. Though in this day and age mobile telephony with geo positioning, smart phones and twitter offer low cost ways that can do pretty much the same. Top marks for Prentice all the same for encouraging and leading good practices in rural East Lothian.
