BC Transit has introduced their NextRide automatic vehicle location technology to buses in the Kitimat and Terrace Transit Systems.
NextRide allows riders to see real-time bus locations and predicted arrival times at each stop, and will introduce on-board stop announcements for passengers.
Customers can track or monitor routes through their app of choice, such as the TransitApp, with information provided by BC Transit.
They are working to install the new technology on all 315 buses operating on fixed routes in BC, on a community-by-community basis.
In addition, route numbers in the Terrace system will be changing to minimize confusion among riders as the new technology rolls out.
All routes will now add a 4 to the beginning of the number, meaning route 1 will become 41, route 2 will become 42, and so on.
