Read full descriptionHide full description
The Shuttle Tracker - SEMO app is the second iteration of our shuttle apps. The previous app will no longer be supported so uninstall that one after installing this one. This app is designed to help students track the university's shuttle for traveling around campus, and around cape for the wings route(s). The times are estimations based on average travel times so it is better to get to your pickup location early. We will be looking to optimize and add new features to this app.
