Comments:

Smart phone apps for Tri-Rail, PalmTran, and the Fort Lauderdale Sun Trolley are currently available. A new Tri-Rail mobile app was officially launched in Spring, 2016.

BCT is conducting ongoing testing for providing real-time information through BCT's website, mobile application, passenger advisory signs and IVR. BCT is also working out issues out on the mobile application. The app is still in beta until issues are fixed.

Integrating separate applications from transit agencies in Broward and Palm Beach counties into one app for transit across the region is a desired next step.
