Use Transit app to track campus buses in real time
LEXINGTON, KY (Sept. 17, 2024) – It’s easy to track buses — on-campus and off-campus — using Transit, an app that’s now available for free to all University of Kentucky students and employees.
Transit is new to UK this year, replacing UK’s previous bus-tracking system, Transloc. Simply download Transit for Android or Apple devices to see bus and other transportation options in real-time, including nearby stops.
Users can see all campus bus routes in the vicinity, including off-campus Lextran routes, as well as other ride-sharing options. This technology provides Wildcats with an impressive range of useful features.
Tap any route in the Transit list for more information, including maps, service alerts and upcoming departures.
Features include:
- Transit’s trip companion, GO, giving users step-by-step transit directions and notifications. GO is like GPS for transit and can send notifications when it’s time to catch your ride, and even when it’s time to get off.
- Pinning your most frequently used routes to bring those options to the top when checking for nearby transit choices.
- Subscribing to service alerts and stop-based alerts.
- Settng your favorite destinations.
