It should be noted that the journey to school is a vital part of our children’s every-day lives where feeling safe is a priority and not an option. The walking to school bus service is an innovative solution that guarantees this safety on the way to school for the little ones and frees parents from these constant concerns that may arise.
Today we will talk about the numerous advantages that this service offers, not only to schools, but also to town halls, and how this type of journey promotes a healthy and sustainable lifestyle for the little ones.
What is walking to school bus?
Walking to school bus is a walking transport service, where children walk to school always accompanied by an adult. This service has established routes, previously assigned stops and pre-established times, always guaranteeing organization and punctuality.
Batonroute also has route management within the app from where you can see at all times the exact location of the bus assistant/ driver responsible for your children, and you will be notified with a message about when they arrive at or leave school.
Guarantee of a safe school route:
This service has as its main priority to guarantee the safety of children until they arrive at their schools. By being supervised by a responsible adult and always in a group, the risk of accidents is almost inexistant and the visibility of children on the tracks increases. Safe habits in traffic are also promoted, respecting traffic lights and the rules when crossing the streets.
Advantages for the parents:
The main advantage is that of offering peace of mind to parents and the security that their children will always be watched and accompanied by the presence of an adult. Another advantage is that walking to school bus avoids having to depend on private transportation, dealing with problems associated with traffic, looking for parking, or the expense of fuel. This allows parents to save the time it takes to bring and pick up their children and enables them to use it for other things.
Advantages for schools:
The fact that schools offer this service to parents and their children is undoubtedly a plus that they will appreciate and that will make parents happier with the school and place their trust in them even more.
In addition to the main factor that we have mentioned before about the peace of mind it generates, it is definitely a benefit of practicality in daily life.
Advantages of walking to school bus for the town halls:
This type of school transport not only benefits parents and schools, but also provides many advantages to municipalities, such as:
- Reduce traffic congestion: promoting a walking commute helps to reduce the large number of private vehicles on roads during peak hours of the day. This helps to reduce the congestion that traffic generates and improves fluidity in general.
- Improves road safety: it contributes to creating safer environments for school pedestrians, reduces the risk of accidents and promotes greater road safety for children and other pedestrians.
