About StarTran Bus Tracker

The StarTran Bus Tracker app allows residents and visitors of Lincoln Nebraska to view real-time GPS data of the city bus system on Android devices. No more wondering whether you have just missed your bus or whether it is simply delayed while you’re standing out in a cold Nebraska winter day. Find out in real time where your next bus is and a prediction of when it will arrive at your stop.

StarTran bus routes cover most of the city, downtown, the University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL), and Southeast Community College (SCC).

Features:
- Live view of StarTran Bus GPS locations and direction of travel
- Bus stop locations
- Route listing with map overlays
- Arrival time predictions
- GPS based user location

While this app is fairly basic right now, we have lots of additional features in the works and look forward to sharing them with you soon.

What's Changed
This release is primarily an update to the newest Google libraries and to work around issues with several new phones. I are still working on providing the static bus schedules, but it is taking longer than originally expected and I apologize for the delay.
- Updated to newest release of Google Maps API
- Bug Fix: New map bubbles for extremely high resolution devices (like the Samsung Galaxy S4) to work around a Google Maps bug

When it works, its great. Love being able to know the current location of my bus. Although for the last 2 months the app seems to have glitch that doesn't show me any buses or stops. Just the map and my own location. I've reinstalled the app several times.

Y70%
by Y####:

2 stars for at least having a working map and letting me see the bus routes. No more simply because this app does nothing for me with schedules. No static schedule, and no live schedule. Just a flat out waste. I even wasted a dollar thinking that the features I needed were behind a pay wall. Not the case.

Disappointed. Although I am using the free version of this app it should be more accurate. I've missed now 4-5 busses due to the times fluctuating by just a couple 2-3 mins. Like just now, bus was scheduled to come at 8:05 I was standing at the stop at 8:01 and while waiting at it I realized It's 8:07 checked the app again and it had already passed. If the busses are ahead of time they should slow down or keep this app updated if it'll be a few mins earlier.

Missed several buses , doesn't show all stops, cannot locate any bus stop

I use this every day to see which side of the loop to wait on after dropping kids off at school. Lets me avoid a mix up, and I catch my bus every time :) I don't need schedule info in the app, I have the schedules bookmarked on my browser. It is nice to be able to pull up any bus route while I am walking, and make sure I intersect with the bus. I walk everywhere, and sometimes I get tired and easily finding a nearby route is a great help. No more calls to the crabby Star Tran lady to answer my stupid questions :D

It would be great if you could just enter your location and destination and the app tell you what time and bus route you should take. Something like what google maps does when you click public transportation in bigger cities.

It is April 2017, and this app is no longer working for me! I used it a lot before and it has its flaws, but I still loved it. Now it doesn't show buses or routes or anything at all besides where I am on the map.

P70%
by P####:

I don't like this version you used to be able to see the bus's but now you have to have Wi-Fi for it to even load anything and most of the time you can't see where your bus is no matter if you have Wi-Fi or not, I used to love this app but now it's getting on my nerves FIX IT

Y70%
by Y####:

Dont get me wrong its a great idea, but kinda pointless if not all ur busses turn on their gps to track

Y70%
by Y####:

I'm currently riding this bus, but it doesn't appear on the map. New routes Nov. 1 might be the culprit.

Y70%
by Y####:

This app is garbage now. It does not work. All it shows is a blue dot showing my location

T70%
by T####:

This app has made miss the bus several times and some busses are unable to be tracked. I wish they would fix the 48/54 bus stating its going inbound from gateway mall when really its outbound. These is extremely frustrating when u have two little children to take on the bus.

Y70%
by Y####:

The app only shows the location of the bus when connected to wifi. All other times it shows no route location s.

B70%
by B####:

Most useless map. The developer(s) must have a brain the size of a 1 year old.

Y70%
by Y####:

Rarely works unless I'm connected to WiFi

Y70%

The app doesn't even show the buses whereabouts. Really sucked when I was trying to get home from work.

M70%
by M####:

I take route 49 and most of the time buses don't even show up on this app.

F70%
by F####:

Is easy to use it makes the paper bus schedules obsolete

I70%

Great app tells me were the bus is and what time it arives

Y70%

Sucks it doesnt show the buses

Y70%

Two of the routes are never on time there for scheduling a trip is impossible

M70%
by M####:

Just downloaded it, and so I don't even know if it has every feature I might really like, or if the real-time tracking always works or works at all, but it has all the routes and a map so I can figure out how to get from A to B in Lincoln, a huge help to me! Schedules are available for routes on all the buses and if you want to know where all the stops are, just ride the bus once, and take notes, duh! Rated 5 stars, bkz somebody created a very helpful APP, for free! Whiners, create a better App yourselves!

H70%
by H####:

Every time I turn it on it shows me the running busses from the last time I used the app. It'll take more than 5 min, sometimes as much as 40, to show me part of the current routes. Even then, sometimes my bus "isn't running." Sadly, it's better to have the app if you can afford a smartish phone than to come to bus stop with a broken message board.

Shows very few of the bus stops that exist

Think I missed my bus? No worries this app is fantastic!

A70%

Really helpful for catching the next bus at any stop! You can see the ETA of the bus in real time using data fetched from the bus gps. Really helpful!

This app is great, however the developer has abandoned it so over time issues are cropping up with mapping that isn't being resolved.
