With Transit, you can now …
Know when the bus will arrive …
Storm? Traffic congestion? Thanks to Transit, you can find out how long it will take, in real time, for the bus to get to your stop.
Do you want to stay in the shelter a few more minutes?
Simply program an alert to remind you when to leave.
Track the bus in real time …
Because it's useful, and reassuring, to see where the bus is and track it on the map.
Know where to get off …
Are the bus windows fogged up? No problem! Just activate the GO feature in the app and an alert will be sent to your phone to tell you when to get off.

Real time is a prediction based on the information supplied by the bus on a route. That is why it is important to keep a good habit of going to the stop 3 to 5 minutes before the predicted real bus arrival time.
Operational support and rider information system
Thanks to the new operational support and rider information system that the STO implemented in 2018 to track the movement of buses in the system in real time, it is possible to generate real-time open data (GTFS-RT).
