Fifty-minute wait for a westbound bus, myself and other LSU
employees have been made late once again in reporting to our places
of employment. The reader will please bear in mind that LSU subsidizes
this transit system.
I didn't recognize the operator as someone I've seen drive this route
before, maybe a substitute for a regular operator on this route.

The signal bell is not working.
The engine suddenly stopped and the operator radioed as such to a voice
on the speaker that did not seem to understand that she was not able
to bring the bus back to the terminal.
Upon restarting the engine, the operator motored slowly then at 7:11
AM pulled off Highland road right next to the overpass where we waited
for another CATS bus to pick us up.
Bus 729 arrived at 7:20 AM. We're late in reporting to our employment
once again but we're not as late as we might have been had a bus not
arrived to pick us up so quickly.
The signal bell is not working.

When riding the bus to campus makes it possible for other LSU employees
and myself to report to our places of employment on time, we often
thank the bus operator. Others' and myself did just that this morning.

Westbound
I'm always at stop #1250 by 6:55 AM, the time at which - according to
the CATS website - a westbound bus is scheduled to leave the terminal.
There's never - that I know of - a problem when the "regular" operators
that I see most every weekday are on the route. When they're operating
the bus, it's easy to "get in sync" with the timing of their arrival
and departure.
It's when there's a "substitute" operator on this route that other LSU
employees and myself wind up being late to report to our workplaces.
Fri 01 Sep 2023 09:00:25 AM CDT - Bus Tracking Application Upgrade
It's been a month since the bus tracking application upgrade was promised
to begin.
Please see the thread below and confirm the source by going to link
below the quoted news article posted on CATS' website.
CATS Set To Upgrade Bus Tracking Application
July 18, 2023 BATON ROUGE, La. -
Capital Area Transit System (CATS) is happy to announce that they will
be upgrading their bus tracking application and will begin the process
of transitioning to the MyStop application on July 31st.
"We are thrilled to bring this software to CATS and to the people we
serve. It's well overdue and is essential to becoming a top transit
system," said CATS Interim CEO Dwana Williams.
Williams was echoed by CATS' Director of Innovation Micah Anthony:
"The capabilities of this new software will not only enhance the riders'
experience, but it will also help us tremendously with operations and
data reporting."
While the upgrade does mean a temporary loss of bus tracking capabilities
during the transition period, the improved application comes with
several new features including real-time graphical bus tracking,
integrated service alerts via email and SMS notifications, improved
trip planning enhanced via Google, and more. Internally, MyStop will
allow CATS to see and track data analytics that will help improve on
time performance and make needed changes to schedules and routes.
As CATS makes this transition to an improved application, riders are
encouraged to check the CATS website www.brcats.com for current schedules
and service alerts, or call The Customer Care Line at 225.389.8282
for more information. The MyStop application is expected to be fully
launched and available to riders later this year.
