Bus Tracking

In 2008, RTS equipped their fleet with a GPS capability called TransLoc. This enables riders to see if their bus is running on time. TransLoc Rider, a mobile phone app that incorporates the TransLoc GPS capability, is also available for riders.

Fleet

Since 1974, Gainesville has had a diverse fleet of buses bought from Transit Authorities in state and manufacturers such as GMC, Orion Bus Industries, Blue Bird, Nova Bus, Flexible, Gillig Corporation. All RTS buses are equipped with bicycle racks and wheelchair lifts. While many were purchased new, others were acquired second-hand from other operators in the state, including 30 that were acquired from Lynx and 11 from Palm Tran. RTS acquired five new Gillig hybrid electric buses (two in early 2012 and three more in 2013).
