JUCSU launches live bus tracking system

The Jahangirnagar University Central Students' Union (JUCSU) has launched a live bus tracking system called "iTracker."

Introduced under the slogan "Smart Transportation, Smart Campus," the initiative enables students, faculty members, officers, and staff to use a mobile app to view the real-time locations of buses operating on campus. As a result, it is expected to significantly reduce long waiting times for buses, uncertainty about their whereabouts, and the inconvenience associated with daily commuting.

On Sunday, the live tracking system was officially inaugurated by Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Mohammad Kamrul Ahsan at a ceremony held at the university's Central Field.

Speaking at the inauguration, the Vice-Chancellor thanked JUCSU, the university's Transport Office, and IFAD Group, which collaborated in implementing the tracking system. He said, "Life is the greatest gift from the Creator, and after life, humanity's greatest achievement is technology. The proper use of technology makes our lives easier, safer, and more efficient."

He added that with the introduction of the bus tracking system, students, faculty members, officers, and staff will be able to instantly access the real-time location of university buses. This will save time, enable more organized and efficient commuting, and further improve the quality of the university's transportation services.
