The AVL system allows riders to review bus routes and bus stops; and see the real-time location of JTS buses. Riders will then be able to use this information to track their bus and know when to show up to bus stops. Riders may access the real-time bus location data using our free app or may view it on a webpage through the city website at  jts.doublemap.com 

Automatic Audible & Visual Bus Stop Announcements 

To assist all customers, especially those with visual and auditory impairments, 15 of our 17 buses are equipped with an automatic vehicle locations equipment allowing for the automatic announcement of timing points; major intersections; points of interest; and transfer points along bus routes. If a passenger with a disability has a specific stop request that is not set for automatic announcement, please inform the driver and he or she will announce the requested stop or location. The remaining two buses will receive automatic annunciation equipment upon their replacement in 2021.

Free WiFi Available! 

With the presence of mobile data on board, riders are may connect to Wi-Fi courtesy of Janesville Transit. Wi-Fi connectivity allows riders to access our online services or connect to the internet while on the bus.

Receive Texts about Bus Stops

Riders may also text a bus stop ID number to 608-299-4170 to learn when the bus will next be arriving. All bus stops signs have a unique ID number in the lower right hand corner. In the body of the text write ETA and then the bus stop ID number in question. Riders will then receive an automatic text with the name of the route(s) that serves the stop and the next estimated arrival time.
