School transport means routes, stages, bus fees, pick-up lists and above all safety. Parents want to know their child boarded, and proprietors want transport fees to cover fuel, crew and maintenance. A transport system brings all of this together. Here is a comparison, and why Anademy Transport is our pick for schools that run their own buses.
About the name: Anademy = Ananke + Academy. It is the family of school systems made by Ananke Digital, a Kenyan software team. Each Anademy tool is set up for the individual school on order.
