Impossible to say, since we have no idea how your app works. You probably need to use a database of some kind.

am working on an app for students on campus to access school shuttle service. the students need to see the position of a particular shuttle at each point in time so that they know which shuttle is near their location. also, the drivers can also view the position of students who need shuttle so that he picks them up.

Well that tells us what your app is supposed to do, but it does not explain what problem you want help with.

Like I said, use a database; that's the most efficient way.

Ok...Thanks. again, is it advisable to use geolocation for this or use native code to get the location since it's a webapp..?

Sorry no idea, it all depends on how your app is designed. You are the best person to make that decision based on your requirements.
