Real-time Travel Information
RIPTA is always working on implementing new technologies to benefit our customers. We use real-time travel information to track our buses and since we have made that data available to developers, many have been busy building apps that make riding RIPTA easier. You can use our website and click on the “Where’s My Bus?” tab on the home page to track your ride in real time, or you can try some of the apps listed below.
You can also find our mobile applications by searching “RIPTA” in your phone’s app store.
