The Rapid is getting ready to roll out some very cool real-time transit tools this fall. As if it was not enough to be one of the highest quality public transit systems in the nation, now The Rapid is about to become on of the most technologically advanced too.Riders will not only be able to plan trips online, but they will also be able to find out if a bus is running late via text messages! Along with the tools in development, real-time data will also be integrated with Google Transit. This will allow riders to visit the popular Google Maps site, enter a start and end address, and have Google plan out their entire bus route! Not only that -- but through Google Transit Mobile, they can plan routes using their cell phones too.
Together with this fall's frequency improvements and new bus routes, these transit tools show The Rapid's commitment to its riders.
