With Transit, riders see nearby options and departure times in big text and bright colors. Users can easily navigate their city, aided by accurate real-time bus ETAs and trip planning, plus step-by-step navigation with Transit’s GO feature. Transit brings multimodal options from different operators together into one app, including public transit, car-share, ride-hail, bike-share, and scooters. The ease-of-use has made Transit a hit with riders, and the app has millions of active users in more than 200 cities worldwide.
With Swiftly, transit professionals get up to 30% more accurate real-time predictions, allowing them to provide passengers with the highest quality information. Swiftly is a transit reliability platform that lets agencies analyze their transit systems in new ways. It only takes a few minutes to start making a network more reliable — from improving passenger-facing predictions, to reducing bunching and gapping, and increasing on-time performance.
The partnership builds upon existing collaborations between Swiftly and Transit in cities including Boston, San Jose, and Baltimore, with Swiftly powering real-time predictions for agencies that have officially endorsed Transit as the best app for riders.
