Background Location Access

This is an app that will be installed on the device of the driver of school bus. The purpose of the app is to keep track of the location of the school bus so that parents can know where the bus is at any time and they can go to the bus stop just in time to pick up their wards. The app also helps keep track of the student attendance while going to school and also while coming back from school - so that no child is missed out.

Why The App Needs To Access Location In Background

The app is supposed to help keep track of the location of the school bus. The app sends its location to the server periodically. The parent can then see the location of the school bus in their app. This is why the app needs to access location in background.
