Next Ride arrives this summer

PRINCE GEORGE – Waiting for the bus can sometimes be a crapshoot. Will it be on time or late? But that will be a thing of the past later this summer.

NextRide technology will be installed across transit systems throughout British Columbia which will use Automatic Vehicle Location technology to allow customers to see real-time bus locations along routes and identify what predicted arrival times are at any selected stop.

It’s a service that Prince George Transit has been seeking for about five years. Given the climatic challenges this community experiences, it will be a good fit. Two installation teams will work closely together in neighbouring or nearby communities as they move through the province to install the new technology on buses.
