Given today’s startup, a question about school buses: how many of you actually rode on a school bus to get to school? We’re convinced it’s less common than it seems. For reference, neither of us rode on a bus, but that might just be an LA phenomenon.

🔮 Our Analysis

School buses are ubiquitous. However, the time and talent to manage school buses is not. BusRight is solving this problem by bringing tech to bus management, a space that still sees administrators routing buses with pen and paper. However, the company is going a couple of steps further than this innovation and is building a solution that consolidates multiple features in one. These features, found in the description, are aimed at not just optimizing the day-to-day of administrators, but at helping students and parents as well. Seeing just how far ahead BusRight is than the status quo and its undeniable value proposition, we can see a road to Unicorn-ness ahead.
