Link Transit is announcing a strategic partnership with Moovit, creator behind the #1 commuter app. Starting today, Link is offering riders an exclusive, ad-free Moovit upgrade making transit smoother, smarter, and more connected. Through Moovit, Link is offering a seamless urban mobility experience — multimodal journey planning, mobile payment, and real-time information — all from one app. Moovit users also have access to premium features such as Live Vehicle Tracking. 

Moovit guides people in getting around using public transport, including being able to plan, pay for, and navigate journeys with real-time arrival information. The app provides users with multimodal journey planning with real-time arrival information so they know when their bus is arriving, a Live Directions feature with deboard alerts, and Service Alerts to avoid disruptions. Moovit has also integrated Uber, allowing users to plan and navigate Burlington and beyond. Riders can also view the live location of Link vehicles via icons moving across the map in real-time, providing users greater insight into their route’s progress. 

“We love using technology to at Link Transit and this new partnership with Moovit provides Link Transit riders free access to some of Moovit’s best features – they can plan a trip, pay for a trip, track a trip and book Uber rides when Link Transit services are unavailable,” said John Andoh, Transit Manager for the City of Burlington, the administrators of Link Transit. “Passengers will soon be able to book and cancel paratransit trips with Moovit.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Link Transit to bring their riders a seamless and comprehensive mobility experience,” said Gil Balog, Chief Operations Officer at Moovit. “By offering journey planning and payment, and premium features with an ad-free experience, we are making public transit more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly for Burlington residents and visitors alike.”

Mobile ticketing has been enabled using Token Transit’s robust mobile ticketing platform. 

Link Transit can download the Moovit app for free on iOS and Android to take advantage of this new, ad-free transit experience.
