The service, through Transitapp, will let you know if there are likely many seats on board, some seats, or standing room only on that bus at that time.
“As our customers continue returning to transit, this new feature will help them confidently know if they’ll get a seat before leaving home,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn, in a statement.
When customers plan their journey through the Transit app or check the real-time location of their bus, they will notice a symbol indicating how many seats are likely to be available on board, says TransLink. Rating categories will let you know if there are usually many seats on board, some seats, or standing room only on that bus at that time. TransLink says these estimations are based on historical ridership data.
This initiative is a result of the 2020 Open Call for Innovation. The team behind the Transit app were the successful applicant of the Open Call to make transit safer and more comfortable for customers.Share this article in your social network
