Finding out when the bus is coming through the use of a smart phone app will likely encourage even more people to ride the bus.

Definitely a worthy idea. Great story

Good application of already proven technology. Recommend also building into the smart phone apps a structured “trip request” system to solicit rider input on when/where bus trips would have been taken had a bus been available. Merge this with existing ridership data to see if route changes might be warranted. All very straightforward for the right development team. Good luck and let us know if you need any help!

Hey Tom! We are a big fan of using social media and smart technology to get a greater outreach. A smart phone application is a brilliant idea and a great way to organize without wasting paper. Good suggestion!

we need this in Newport county. we all take the bus, and never know if we have missed it or not! the driving age is 17 here. more young people would use the bus system if they could rely on it more.

we need this in Newport county. we never know if we have missed the bus! more people would opt for public transportation with this tracking system.
