A Gazette reader writes to tell us that “If you take Burlington Transit one of the most useful apps, was being able to see where your bus was while you wait with the NEXT BUS option. You could see where your bus was via GPS.
Burlington Transit has discontinued this service due to “technical issues”. The reader thinks this is BS.
Gazette reader wants to know why existing technology is no longer available to riders.
“I am sure the bus location is still known as this is what the transit executive is looking at … they have just dropped this service because they don’t want to support it anymore.
“If this is a service improvement it is just double speak in absolute Brave New World terms.”
Before we reach out to the transit people: Do you use the transit app?
Google Maps is useless, never accurate. For transit, the best to use is, Transee.com
Burlington Transit continues to under deliver and perform poorly – its not about money – its about leadership – or non existing leadership
Google Maps is an alternative as it tells you if the bus is on time, but it doesn’t actually show you where the bus is, unless I’m not seeing something.
Interesting Cathy.
I just tried Ggogle maps from Waterdown Rd & LaSalle to First Ontario Place – routes 1 & 1X.
Google said there is no public transit route available.
Who is it that you work for again?
Google maps works the best and still lets you know where the buses are. I use this app all the time- no needful any other.
