This project helps residents who live at the Gamecock Village be notified when the campus bus is in range of the apartment complex. The user has a choice of manually updating the bus times by hitting the [Check Bus Times]. In order to track the bus and be alerted when the bus is less than 5 minutes away just hit [Start Tracking Buses]. This will cause the system to continue track all buses going to the apartment complex until the user hits [Stop Tracking].
