Live Campus Connector location data seems to have gotten much worse lately. This may or may not be the fault of the app rather than whatever backend is in use, but the lack of a manual refresh button and the always-recent time stamps here make things much worse. Watch another live-tracking app like Transit (which doesn’t seem to understand alternate weekend schedules) and be prepared to grind your teeth at the bus stop.

This app is good to depend on for seeing what routes there are in relation to your location and to see how many busses are in route. It is NOT dependable necessarily for what direction the routes go (seemingly all of them only go one way, from what I gather), and especially not reliable for the location of the busses. You can get a general idea for where the bus may be, but don’t expect it to be accurate. I would recommend downloading this app, but it definitely needs some improvement.

This app is so frequently inaccurate that it is pointless to rely on. While more accurate when class is in session when the buses run every 5-10 minutes, it has been completely useless to use over winter break when the Campus Connector runs every 15 minutes. Waiting at a stop in the morning in -10 degree weather for 12 minutes watching the app tell me that 2 buses have come and gone is incredibly frustrating. It’s much better to just figure out the general time the bus you want hits your stop.
