COUNTY News:
Los Alamos County Atomic City Transit announces that transit data feed is now live on Google Maps.
Realtime Transit feed will enhance user experience; for example, riders get:
- Up-to-date arrival and departure time information … allows users to plan their trips even more efficiently;
- Advance notification of service delays … helps to reduce inconvenience to transit users; and
- Smoother transit experiences … helps to encourage repeat users, improving potential for increased ridership.
“Our new transit data feed will provide enhanced real-time information options with the addition of the mobile app feature for riders and the utilization of GTFSR format that will update our data more frequently than standard GTFS feeds,” Transit Manager Annette Granillo said. “In addition, Google Transit will allow us to better analyze schedule data, view route trends, access real-time data, and develop reports to improve operation efficiencies to enhance the passenger experience.”
