Transloc: The bane of my existence—the bane of anyone’s existence that lives more than 80 feet away from campus. It’s the most frustrating app to hit college kids’ phones since Flappy Bird. If I see another “Comm. Ave bus not tracking” notification, I’m going to lose my mind. Or write another sassy article. The whole point of the app is to track buses….get it together, Transloc.

After recent events, like Boston turning into an arctic tundra, I feel that Transloc has been an extreme annoyance lately. So, here are 10 things better than Transloc. The list could really go on forever.

1. Not Baja Chicken day at Hillside

2. Stepping on a Lego

3. A Sarah McLachlan commercial

4. People who use the Maloney elevators to go to the third floor

5. Being unable to pop you ears on an airplane

6. Freshman getting into MA’s.

7. Getting invited to play Candy Crush Saga on Facebook

8. Not getting a wristband at Shea

9. Waiting for the 11th like on Instagram

10. And finally, the real kicker: That patch of hair by your ankle that somehow always gets missed whilst shaving

I would rather experience any of the mentioned ~blessings~ than have to deal with Transloc and its deceitful, misleading nature. Especially living off campus, Transloc is the biggest determinant in whether I arrive on time to class or not. So, it indirectly determines if I have time to get coffee at Hillside. So much of my life rides (pun intended) on this app. It arguably causes more stress than Eagles at 1pm everyday. We’re no MIT, but come on, BC. You can do better than this Transloc app.
