The app that tracks the R.D. Parker Collegiate buses is in a trial run this week.

Parents and students must go to the R.D. Parker website or facebook page to click on the link that pertains to the route they travel on.

Danny Morris, Transportation Lead for the School District of Mystery Lake explains.

“Right now, just for the R.D. Parker students only. This is for pick up only. In the morning, there are two routes: there is an early morning route for the whole area which is called the early run and the second run is the Eastwood area which starts around 9:15 and also goes back to the R.D. Parker.”

Morris said the students using the bus will have to register for the ridership program in the coming week, meaning they have to sign a sheet and then they’ll be given a number for a QR code.

This will help the district keep track of who is travelling on the buses.

There is no charge for students to use the bus or the app.
