When you first open the app, it uses your location to pinpoint the bus routes that pass closest to you. TIP! Be sure to allow Transit to access your location data during the installation process. The route display provides pertinent information such as the route name, direction, and stop name. Swipe left or right on a route to change direction. When you see the flashing real-time icon, that means there's a GPS tracker on the bus providing accurate arrival time information. TIP!

This screen displays real-time vehicle locations as icons on the map and their departure times. If you scroll down on the screen, subsequent stops and their route connections appear.
