This app is vital to students getting to class on time and is very helpful and useful to the student body as a whole.

BSU has taken away too much this year and it’s the 4th day.

I want the app back!

I used Transloc every single day, to get to classes and to get to my car when it was in the stadium parking lot. The bus drivers do their best to stay on the schedule you’ve provided, but it’s unrealistic. So I truly never know when a bus is coming, let alone what route it is assigned. I just want SOMETHING to know when my bus is coming.

I don’t agree with Transfolk, but I do want these buses back. Also, Please make the texting thing that paired with transloc work too. I really liked that thing.

please please please...! it makes buses way more accessible for people to use if they can gauge if walking ro taking the bus is quicker, and they dont have to wait and pray for a bus to show up at the stop they're heading for

TransLoc was a part of my daily routine. I meticulously plan my day; theirs is now no way to know when exactly I should leave for my classes. This makes me prone to being late, especially since I live in the Schiedler apartments further away from campus.

I used this app more than once daily. It was essential to my transportation around and off campus.

Sabine (2024-08-22)

I want to be able to get to class on time.

Sarah (2024-08-22)

This app is one of the only ways that I can leave my house at a reasonable time and still arrive to class on time when using the buses.

Ella (2024-08-22)

I’m signing because TransLoc is beneficial to many people. It is not our fault that people misused it

without the ability to track the buses i have no idea if i will actually be able to get to classes on time. i could be perfectly on schedule, but not know that no bus will show up for 20 mins, and either have to lug everything across campus or hope and wait. transloc or other bus tracking apps are essential

ellen (2024-08-22)

i live off campus and am constantly worried about being late to class without the transloc app!!

Kit (2024-08-22)

I used TransLock almost every day my freshman and sophomore year. I and many of my peers are upset about not being able to track the app. Especially with the bus route change.

Emma Fisher (2024-08-22)

I need to track the bus

Katelynn (2024-08-22)

youre basically expecting me to high tail it from the north lot everyday because i cant risk standing there twiddling my thumbs waiting for a bus

hannah (2024-08-22)

The TransLoc app helps me get to my classes on time. I live off-campus so the busses are sometimes more convenient than walking.

BALL STATE IS ANTI-STUDENT

Lukas Needham (2024-08-22)

If you talk to any student, they will agree that there is a real need for this app or a reliable equivalent. It is worth the cost.

Sophia (2024-08-22)

Bring it back!!!

Ashe (2024-08-22)

The TransLoc app was very useful and allowed me to better plan out my day.

Paige (2024-08-22)

taking the tracking app away has made me late almost every morning. I don’t want to get up an hour early because I have no idea where a bus is.

Maddie (2024-08-22)

I wanna know where the bus at ☹️

kalie (2024-08-22)

IM SICK OF BEING LATE

I use TransLoc daily to get to classes on time. Due to medical conditions, it is difficult for me to walk to class from the commuter lot at the end of campus to classes at the opposite end. The commuter lots closest to my classes are also full. Without a reliable bus schedule or tracking system, I walk 15-20 minutes to class on top of my driving time to campus. Bring back TransLoc or provide an alternative.

Chantel (2024-08-22)

Not having the ability to track the busses makes it nearly impossible for me to ensure I can arrive to class or work on time. It also has the potential to leave students standing in the rain or snow for long periods of time.

Ciera (2024-08-22)

Its much more difficult to get around campus without TransLoc. The app was very important to many students.

Ashley (2024-08-22)

#88

I used transloc daily to track the busses and make sure I got to my classes on time, the removal of the app has really negatively affected my experience at ball state and I would love if it was reinstated.

Eggy (2024-08-22)

I like to be to class on time and I pay way too much in transportation for this

Alyssa (2024-08-22)

I commute to class and need to be able to be on time and know what buses will be able to be here on time.

Noelle (2024-08-22)

i need it

As a disabled student living in Scheidler, I rely heavily on the BSU shuttles, and they are an absolutely critical part of planning my daily routine.

El Wooden (2024-08-22)

The Transloc app is essential for tracking bus routes. Especially for those living off campus. The bus route itself is extremely unreliable, and the Transloc app helps students, including myself, have a set schedule to know when to get out the door and onto the bus.

mj (2024-08-22)

The bus routes are less acesssible for students without showing where the buses are and the estimated times.

Arianna (2024-08-22)

I’m late to class without this like pls.

Kalysa (2024-08-22)

Ball State students deserve a way to find accurate and up to date bus information throughout all of campus.

Noah (2024-08-22)

One of the reasons I chose an apartment close to campus was the bus convenience and the ability to make sure I get to my classes on time and that I can get home from my extra curricular without needing to utilize my car. Not having the TransLoc app has severely disrupted my schedule because waiting several minutes for a bus, not knowing if it will be there in one minute or if it had just left and I need to wait 10 minutes, greatly impacts my schedule and ability to make it to lectures, exams, extra curriculars, and work on time. It is also just incredibly stressful, especially considering that we were not told anything and had to figure it out by opening the app, asking bus drivers, or through an anonymous site like yikyak. Especially with another bus being added, where no one knows the schedule yet, and a crucial bus being taken out, one that people relied on for travel from university apartments or the stadium, it does not make sense why Ball State chose to remove it and not at least let students know about the change. Many students didn’t even know about the addition of a new bus route. Having a way to track where the buses are is so critically important to the campus running smoothly and it takes a huge chunk of stress out of an already busy and stressful schedule.

We deserve to have a reliable transportation system, and that includes access to bus tracking.

Maya (2024-08-22)

I rely on this app to be on time to class but to also be on time to work after classes end.

Karina (2024-08-22)

I rely heavily on the bus system to get me around campus and muncie in general. While I love the addition of the purple loop and being able to get to the hospital much easier, It's incredibly frustrating not knowing when the bus could even get me there.

Jazz (2024-08-22)

Transloc is very important to those on campus who utilize the bus system and a replacement app is definitely needed. The fact that administration said this was an app that was not used by students is concerning and simply untrue.

Grace (2024-08-22)

I want to know where the blue loop is

Thomas (2024-08-22)

Helps make life easier for us students

Joseph (2024-08-22)

we need the app to track bus times. we also need to see the routes each bus takes since they were changed over the summer!

Ay’Riyana (2024-08-22)

I love transloc

Erin (2024-08-22)

I'm signing because I take the bus to class to work and want to be on time! I can’t walk to Student Center to Robert Bell in 10 minutes!!!

Mya (2024-08-22)

#141

Im signing because I dont want to have to wait out in the cold wondering when the next bus will be around.

Blake Myers (2024-08-22)

How the hell am I supposed to guess where my bus is??? Stupid!

Collin (2024-08-22)

duhhh

anna (2024-08-22)

i’m signing this because i want to know when the buses are running through my area. i’m a first year and im so lost. this being shut down isn’t helpful.

Cai (2024-08-22)

#148

I need to know what time the busses are running so I can know if I need to walk to class!!

Emily Yost (2024-08-22)

#153

I got class to be at

moe (2024-08-22)

#154

I need a way to know when the buses come without guessing

Kaleb (2024-08-22)

#156

Knowing where the bus is or if it’s not even running is crucial information, especially for students living off campus.

Ivy (2024-08-22)

#159

I’m signing because I agree on all counts. The tracking of buses in real-time was incredibly convenient as a student and it made a work of difference. It helped me gauge whether I should walk or wait for the bus.

Giancarlo (2024-08-22)

#164

that app is vital for using the buses and it’s very concerning they just got rid of it with no notice

Julian (2024-08-22)

Being able to track the buses helps us get to class on time

Barry Ramage (2024-08-22)

Transloc was a very useful app for the buses

Mario (2024-08-22)

#170

I rely on this app.

Adrienne (2024-08-22)

#173

I would really like to use the buses.

Madison Hambrock (2024-08-22)

#175

transloc is super useful and helpful resource and it’s not fair to students to guess when the next bus will be at their desired stop!

Emma (2024-08-22)

#178

This completely ruins my chances of getting to class on time. Hands down the WORST decision ball state has ever made. So many students rely on this app in order to get to class

Hannah (2024-08-22)

#181

I like to know when the buses are coming so I am not late to classes if I need to walk. It’s inconvient not knowing where or how far the bus is.

liz (2024-08-22)

#184

To bring back the transit loc app

Da’Nechia Wilson (2024-08-22)

#190

I love the transloc app and as a commuter it helps so much to know when a bus will be near where I parked, especially in the winter so that I don't have to wait in the cold.

Ella (2024-08-22)

#191

I need TransLoc as a new student confused by the bus system within this new environment with new stops, far classes, and cold weather.

Jordyn (2024-08-22)

#194

I used the buses every. Single. Day. Of my sophomore year

ella (2024-08-22)

#198

I used the buses like crazy last year!! I always knew when I could catch the bus and that’s thanks to TransLoc. Without that app to tell me when the bus was coming my everyday transportation would have been severely disrupted. I feel for everyone who still relies on the bus system to get around on campus that won’t know when the next bus is coming.

Bryson (2024-08-22)

As a Scheidler resident, I rely on Transloc to get me to classes each day. Since there's only one loop that runs through Scheidler, an early or late bus arrival can mean being late to class or activities. Taking away our access to reliable information takes away our transportation autonomy.

Lark Valente (2024-08-22)

#200

I’m signing this because there are no guarantee that the buses are timely and I’ve already been late to class 3 times this semester.
