School bus system vs a basic GPS tracker: what is the difference?

A basic GPS tracker shows where a bus is. A full school bus system shows what is happening on board. Here is the difference for schools.

Many schools already have a GPS tracker on their buses. So why talk about a full school bus system?

A basic tracker answers one question

“Where is the bus?” That is useful, but it leaves out who is on board, what is happening inside, and how to respond in an emergency.
