About this app

TransLoc is your personal assistant for getting to work on time, spending the day running errands or hopping around campus for classes. TransLoc is the only app with public transit options, a trip planner, ride-sharing and bus schedules.

Not sure how to get from point A to point B? No problem! Use the trip planner to find the best public transit routes, times and services to fit your schedule. You can even favorite the bus stops you use the most to always have arrival predictions at your fingertips.

Wondering if you have time to grab a coffee before getting on the bus? With TransLoc, you’ve also got access to scheduled and estimated arrival times…perfect for those mornings when a 5-minute coffee run is essential.

Where available, you can even bring the bus stop to you! TransLoc connects you to nearby ride-sharing services offered by your city or campus. Best of all, it’s cheaper than most private ride-hailing apps! Get to where you want to go for less than the other apps want you to pay.

Ratings and reviews

I have to close and open the app multiple times in a row in order for it to show bus routes. Like, seven or eight times. It also only shows 3 busses in my immediate area. There's at least one stop that hosts 3 different busses, but it only shows one. I can't plan for connecting busses/ trains this way, and I resort to other apps instead. That being said, it's pretty accurate with bus location, and shows university specific busses that don't appear on major apps. Only reason I keep this app.

it's not reliable. several times i requested a ride an hour before i needed to leave for work. then i have been notified as the next pick up only to have "the system" change it's mind. i went from the next pick up, in which i would've gotten to work on time, to the estimated time of arrival to pick me up being after the time that i was scheduled for work. i even called "dispatch", and i was told that they have no control of the bus routes. it's all done by "the system".

Leaving the app running in the background doesn't update the location of the busses. Swapping back the app can show misleading or incorrect locations. When the location of the busses finally does update instead of snapping to the bus location it will do this funny little glide in a straight line to a different stop. This means you have to do a little guessing game where it will end up, and what direction it's going to figure out if you are going to miss your bus or not. It's poorly thought out.
