There's a new and improved UC Davis Mobile App for both iOS and Android devices. The upgrade offers improved accessibility, upgraded features, and a modern, maintainable mobile app experience for the university community. The new app also provides Unitrans bus schedule information and real-time bus tracking/arrival information.
If you are using the old UC Davis Mobile app, please switch to the new app as the old app no longer uses the most up-to-date Unitrans bus arrival information.
For more information, go to mobile.ucdavis.edu!
