Where's That Stinkin' Bus? Lemme Check My Phone

Students at many large colleges and universities rely on campus transportation to get to class. But, with just a few minutes between classes and crowded bus stops, it is often difficult for students to know which bus to catch to get to class on time.

Transloc is a new passenger information system that is available on many college campuses. Bus riders can use it to view a digital bus map that tracks a bus's exact location.

Through an app on their Blackberry, iPhone, or Android, students can see each bus moving along its route. In addition, each bus stop contains a screen that shows a digital bus map, allowing riders to know the exact location of the buses on that route.

Transloc turns bus routes into a virtual reality, making campus transportation more convenient.
And effective.
