I'm currently waiting for my kid to arrive on a bus that may or may not be running late. With regards to tracking, it would be really handy to be able to check their location to get a sense of how long I'll be waiting (and how late I'll be for my next appointment).

I mean, reliable public transport and a good bus tracker app would be better, but probably not realistic in my city.

You could just call or text to ask the kid, rather than require that they submit to 24/7 real-time surveillance. "Really handy" doesn't seem to justify that.
