Shuttle Tracker is a free iPhone app developed by Gabriel Jacoby-Cooper that allows users to track the real-time locations of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus shuttle buses. With crowd-sourced location data, the app provides accurate tracking information, ensuring that users never miss the shuttle again.

One of the standout features of Shuttle Tracker is its ability to automatically board buses. The app augments GPS data with crowd-sourced location data, even for buses that don't have GPS hardware. This ensures that users have up-to-date information on the location of the buses, regardless of their tracking capabilities.

The Shuttle Tracker Network is another innovative feature of the app. By connecting your phone with Shuttle Tracker Node, a custom bus-tracking device, the app provides a completely transparent experience. Users don't even need to take their phone out of their pocket as the app automatically activates Board Bus in the background.

In addition to real-time tracking, Shuttle Tracker also provides timely information through announcements. Users can receive schedule changes and other important updates right in the app, ensuring that they are always informed.

The app also offers a convenient App Clip, which provides quick access to Shuttle Tracker by scanning an App Clip Code at a shuttle stop or launching relevant Siri Suggestions from the Home Screen.

With universal compatibility across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Shuttle Tracker ensures a seamless experience across different devices.

Please note that Shuttle Tracker for iOS and iPadOS works best on iOS/iPadOS 16 and newer. Users on iOS/iPadOS 15 are recommended to update to the latest version for the best Shuttle Tracker experience.
