How it all comes together

Three roles. One platform. Seamless coordination.

Drivers power real-time service

With a dash-mounted tablet, drivers begin each shift by choosing their route. Their tablet transmits live location to commuters while they drive, and they update occupancy and availability at each stop to keep the platform accurate in real time.

Commuters ride with confidence

Riders see live bus locations, occupancy levels, and availability for active buses nearby in the Commuter app. They get ETAs to every stop and view up-to-date service information at all times.

Admins keep service up-to-date

Administrators manage routes and stops from a central dashboard. They send push real-time push notifications to update commuters about the service in real-time.

FAQ

Install the Driver app on a dash-mounted Android tablet/phone. At the start of a shift, drivers select the route they will perform, set up by their administrator.
Trac does not collect any personal information about its users. The Commuter and Admin app do not store users' location; granting access to location is completely optional. The Driver app does not store bus locations; the app uses location only to display the bus' live position to Commuters and record stop times for service administrator usage.
