In an announcement from BC Transit, they have revealed that their new NextRide Automatic Vehicle Location technology is now available for their Fort St John customers.
They also made it known that the technology was officially in place for their Prince George customers as well.
NextRide will allow BC Transit customers to see real-time bus locations and determine what time a bus will arrive at any selected stop.
It will also increase accessibility for those riding transit by automated calls being made on board the buses that will let patrons know what stop they are at.
NextRide is a part of BC Transit’s Smart Bus program, which is intent on creating new technologies to improve the experiences of bus riders by making their rides safer, more accessible and enjoyable.
The first community to have NextRide made available to them was Dawson Creek last week.
