Two drivers were even caught operating side businesses with their garbage trucks – all on the taxpayer’s dime.

This month Duke University is launching a real-time tracking system for its fleet of buses. Now students, faculty, staff and visitors can locate a Duke bus in real-time at any of the 113 bus stops on and around campus.

Users can also use text messages to locate buses.
