Transit System: Cowichan Valley
BC Transit has launched NextRide, its Automatic Vehicle Location technology, in the Cowichan Valley Transit System. Following several weeks of testing and training, the new technology is now available to BC Transit customers.
NextRide allows customers to see real-time bus locations along routes and identify what predicted arrival times are at any selected stop. Onboard, automated stop announcements call out stops to customers riding the bus, which increases comfort and convenience, while also improving the overall accessibility for many using transit. Through BC Transit, bus location data is provided to mobility providers like Google Maps and Transit App, so customers in the Cowichan Valley can track and monitor bus routes using their application of choice.
