Handed over only to the right person
Every trip has its own pickup code. The plate, route, assistant and driver are on the same card.
We run the transport, you focus on education
We plan routes around students' addresses and put an assistant on every school run. Parents follow the bus live and get a notification when their child boards and when they reach school. Schools and parents can reach a real team on one number, any time of day.

Why Volt Lines
Every transport need of your school and campus, with one team
With Volt Lines, 96% of students make it to first period on time; from planning to support, it is all one team.
-
Safe
An assistant on every school trip, drivers with verified documents and every boarding logged with its time.
-
On time
Data-drawn routes and 24/7 monitoring. 96% of students make it to first period on time.
-
Visible
Parents, students and the school see the same trip live. No one has to call anyone about the bus.
-
One point of contact
Planning, vehicles, crew and support are on us. You do not need a transport team of your own.
For schools
The school run comes off the school's to-do list
The school shares the student list and its hours; we take on the planning, the vehicles, the drivers and assistants, and the communication with parents.
Route planning
We draw the routes around students' addresses
We weigh student addresses, school hours and traffic data together, and our transport engineers plan the shortest, fullest routes. Before service starts we show you the routes with their vehicle count and journey times.
- The school shares the list and hours; the rest is on us
- Occupancy is measured daily and lines updated
- When the timetable changes, so does the plan
12 min
Parent communication
Parents know everything without calling anyone
When the bus is close, when the student boards and when they reach school, the parent's phone gets a notification. The school's phones stop ringing about the bus.
- Live tracking and arrival time
- Vehicle speed tracking and analytics
- Masked calls with the driver and assistant
Safety
Built on what you can check, not on trust
Saying a school bus is safe is easy. We put every step on record and show it to the parent and the school.
Who boarded, on record
Every boarding is logged with its time, so at any point of the trip you know who is on the bus.
Seatbelt on, and visible
Data from the seat brings whether the student has fastened their seatbelt into the app.
A crew with verified documents
Driver and assistant documents are uploaded and verified in the app, with a reminder before they expire.
Never alone on the road
The Support button on the assistant's screen reaches the Volt Lines operations team in one tap.
For universities
A campus shuttle students plan themselves
Timetables change every term, and campuses, halls and transfer points need different trips at different hours. We set up the campus shuttle with that flexibility.
- Campus – halls
- Between campuses
- Metro and transfer points
- City centre – campus
- Evening classes and exams
Booking
Students plan their own week
Students mark their days in the passenger app, book a seat and board with a boarding pass. They follow the shuttle live and head to the stop at the right minute.
- Book the week in one go
- Board with a boarding pass
- Masked calls with the driver
Passes
Weekly, monthly or term passes
Students stop paying trip by trip and buy the pass that fits them in the passenger app. They see which lines it covers and how long it has left, and renew it in one tap before it runs out.
- Weekly, monthly and term options
- Buy and renew in the app
- Lines and time left on one screen
