Real-time bus information coming to Kelowna Regional Transit System

Transit riders in the Central Okanagan will soon be able to track where their bus is and when it’s expected to arrive.

Today, B.C. Transit will introduce its NextRide technology, which enables riders to use web browsers and smartphones to see the location of their bus along its route and its predicted arrival time at an identified stop.
