App launches to track Sunline buses
The Sunline Transit Agency announced Tuesday that it launched a new mobile app to help riders navigate the bus system more efficiently.
Sunline officials said ‘SunBus Tracker’ provides trip planning, real-time information, next bus and bus stop information, alerts on delayed buses or detours, number of passengers aboard a bus and more.
The app is now live an available to the public.
“This is the future of transit. Putting rider information at their fingertips where they can receive real-time updates using their mobile devices will make taking the bus more convenient than ever,” said Lauren Skiver, CEO/General Manager of SunLine Transit Agency. “Riders can now see if their bus is running late, track it using GPS and research their best options for each trip.”
According to recent studies in Tampa and Atlanta, where similar apps recently launched, riders using real-time services experienced shorter wait times and greater trip satisfaction.
Sunline representatives said you can download the SunBus Tracker from Sunline’s website, or by searching ‘MyStop’ in the App Store.
