Product Details and Description of
Lafayette, Ind. –July 15, 2018--CityBus is rolling out MyRide, a new GPS-based bus location system. Using MyRide, riders can access transit schedules and real-time GPS-based bus location information, track their bus on a map, and receive transit news and route-specific alerts. When the MyRide app is downloaded on a rider’s phone, geolocation determines the closest bus stops to their location. And with one screen-tap, riders can view estimated departure times for the next buses and routes servicing these stops. By selecting a favorite location or route, or entering a starting point and destination, riders can get real-time GPS-based information for all possible bus options. A trip planner can also make future transit plans. Riders can track the location, estimated departure time and passenger load of the selected bus on an interactive map powered by Google. From their customer account, riders can subscribe to receive text, email or push-notifications containing bus departure information, including one-time or recurring notifications for specific routes, days and times. Another feature identifies detoured routes and temporary stops. CityBus can also post news stories about weather, detours, or community events, publish route-specific or general news, or add pictures or video content. Riders without data plans can get real-time information as well by texting a designated phone number. After inputting their stop number, the system will automatically return estimated departure times for the next buses.

Good start; some improvements
This app has the potential to be useful and already has more features than were available in DoubleMap. A few suggestions for improvements: -It’s annoying having to reselect the routes every time I open the map. In the old DoubleMap app, I could have the map always display the same routes. Maybe the map could be set to, by default, display the routes that I’ve listed as favorites? -Listing stops as favorites does not seem to be useful for anything. Maybe a page that has a list of “favorite” stops with a timetable of buses arriving would be helpful.

Works well when it works
I actually liked this app until it stopped working for me entirely. The tracking is close to accurate, gives you a lot of good options for planning trips etc and lets you view the upcoming arrival times by bus or by stop. However, my app went totally white last week and has yet to return. I have deleted and reinstalled the app 3 times now with no luck. So I guess I can no longer use it which is really unfortunate. Hopefully this is resolved sometime soon.

Needs Improvement
It mostly is correct with times and bus location, however, a few of the stops are missing. The app with frequently says that “there are no busses planned to stop here” or something to that extent when there are busses that will arrive on that route and for whatever reason they don't show up. For a basic app, it gets the job done but there could be a lot of improvements made in future updates.
