It is cool to watch the buses move.... (it takes a while to start up)

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Beginning today, bus riders in Gainesville will be able to pinpoint the exact location of the bus they’re waiting for with the help of the Gator Locator bus tracking system.

The University of Florida and the City of Gainesville Regional Transit System are launching the global positioning system with $204,000 in funds from UF Transportation and Parking traffic court reserves.

Fifty RTS buses on 29 routes are now equipped with the technology that enables riders and RTS Operations to track the real-time locations from a computer, cell phone or personal digital assistant by going to http://ufl.transloc-inc.com/.
