Waco Transit System
Waco, TX
Since 2012, Waco Transit System has used TransLoc’s fixed-route system to provide transit services to urban and rural residents, as well as Baylor University’s students and staff. Automatic vehicle locators (AVLs) and the TransLoc app have given riders the ability to track their buses and replaced their outdated mode of gathering data. As the city of Waco continues to grow at around 1% a year, changes in transit services throughout the city continue to evolve.
12 Fixed Routes 29 vehicles
It’s a big plus for us to be able to pick up the phone and explain what I want [changed to our service]. [Our support specialist] Megan knows the Waco Transit system, Baylor system, and our trollies.
