Ride On Trip Planner
Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has collaborated with Moovit, a global bus Trip planning mobile app software company, to introduce the Ride On Trip Planner - a Ride On bus passenger load and local trip planning app. This innovative app allows riders to plan their trips and assess how crowded a Ride On bus is before it arrives, giving them the option to make informed decisions about their travel.
The app also includes dashboards for the Ride On Central Communications team to monitor bus loads and efficiently dispatch additional buses when needed. Riders can download the app from the Apple app store and easily select their current location, destination, and preferred route. The app provides real-time bus arrival information, step-by-step directions to bus stops and destinations, and alerts when it's time to get off.
Funded by a federal grant, the Ride On Trip Planner app aims to enhance local travel safety and efficiency. Following the two-year pilot program, feedback from County residents and users will determine the future of the application - whether to retain, expand, or replace it. The app leverages Moovit's extensive experience in transit apps, serving millions of users globally with features like multimodal trip planning, real-time arrivals, and micro-mobility integrations.
The Ride On Trip Planner app prioritizes accessibility, catering to users with disabilities to confidently navigate public transit and improve their quality of life. Moovit's technology, used by billions of users worldwide, offers a user-friendly interface and comprehensive transit data to streamline urban mobility.
