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.  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.  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.  Riders can track the location, estimated departure time and passenger load of the selected bus on an interactive map powered by Google.  And with one screen-tap, riders can view estimated departure times for the next buses and routes servicing these stops.  Riders without data plans can get real-time information as well by texting a designated phone number.  When the MyRide app is downloaded on a rider’s phone, geolocation determines the closest bus stops to their location.  Lafayette, Ind. –July 15, 2018--CityBus is rolling out MyRide, a new GPS-based bus location system.  CityBus can also post news stories about weather, detours, or community events, publish route-specific or general news, or add pictures or video content.  After inputting their stop number, the system will automatically return estimated departure times for the next buses.  Another feature identifies detoured routes and temporary stops.  A trip planner can also make future transit plans.
