Cougar Trax makes it easy to see when next shuttle bus will arrive
 Waiting
for a shuttle bus along one of the three routes that services
the University of Houston campus? Use your smart phone to find
out when the next bus will arrive.
The new tracking service, named Cougar Trax, allows students,
faculty and staff to quickly find out the arrival time of the
next bus using GPS tracking.
To access Cougar Trax on your smart phone, go to
http://uhmobile.etaspot.net. The instructions are
simple:
1) Select your route
2) Select your stop
A map will appear that will show your stop, as well as the
position of any of the temporary shuttle buses that are in
service and on their way. Below the map, you will see the
anticipated arrival time for the next bus.
For a larger, more detailed map and information, users can
access the non-mobile site on their laptops or computers at
http://uhmobile.etaspot.net. To use this site, the
directions are just as easy:
1) Select your route
2) Click a bus icon to find out what stop it is going to next
and when it will arrive
3) Click a shuttle stop icon to find out when the next bus will
arrive and how long it will be before it arrives
The new tracking system is being unveiled at the same time as
the shuttle service is being led by a new provider: Richmond,
Va.-based Groome Transportation. The service also has revamped
its routes. They include the
Campus Loop,
Eastwood/ERP Line and
Outer Loop.
