WACO (October 9, 2012)--Students who ride the After Hours Baylor Shuttle (BUS) can now use their smart phones to track the bus’s whereabouts in real-time.

The free Ride Systems app can be downloaded by the iPhone or Droid and the shuttle location is updated every 10 seconds.

The Waco Transit-operated shuttle uses a fixed-route and runs from 6:30 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday.

“It provides a new level of comfort, predictability, and control for potential riders, and we are pleased to be able to offer this technology to our students,” Baylor Director of Parking and Transportation Services Matt Penney said.

Students do not pay anything to ride.

The app can be found on the Baylor shuttle website.
