Introducing … Ride Mode!
Moovit is taking things one step further.
Now you can not only check exactly when your next bus or train will arrive – you can ride all the way with Moovit. Boarded a bus? Start Ride Mode – you’ll get your exact ETA updated throughout the ride & even get notified when you’re approaching your destination.
Notes:
– Make sure to upgrade to the latest version 3.6 for your phone. To download or upgrade click here
– The screenshots below were taken on version 3.6 on an iPhone (Android & Windows Phone versions work the same way)
Here’s how it works:
1. Start Ride Mode – As soon as you board a bus, open that line’s schedule (or your search history) and tap on the “Go” button.
2. Choose your destination station
3. Get ETA & Reminders – See your estimated time of arrival. The time will update according to traffic flow as you go, including how many stops are left until your arrival.
Not paying attention to the road? Moovit is! Moovit will remind you when you’re nearing and reach your stop, even if it’s running in the background.
4. Sharing your ETA – you can also share your destination information & ETA with friends (via Facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp)
