Features & Capabilities

Ride On Trip Planner is a transit-focused Chrome extension built in collaboration with Moovit and Montgomery County's MCDOT. It provides real-time bus arrivals, multimodal trip planning (bus, bikeshare, scooters), and a crowdedness indicator to help riders decide when to board or wait for the next vehicle.

The extension emphasizes accessibility, offering features for users with visual or mobility impairments. It also includes dashboards for central dispatch to monitor loads and optimize service. This federal-funded pilot tests enhanced transit options and safety to improve local travel in the community.

User Reviews

The app is praised for live-time tracking and planning features, with some users noting improvements after updates. However, recurring problems include inaccurate arrival times, buses not appearing or trackable when GPS is off, and reliability issues during weekends or detours, which diminish overall usefulness for many riders.

Pros

Live real-time bus status and tracking.
Strong route planning: easy to compare routes, total travel time, and departure times.
Helpful notifications/reminders.
Recent app updates have improved arrival accuracy for some users.

Cons

Inaccurate or inconsistent arrival times and predictions (times jump, late/early, wrong direction).
GPS dependency leads to uselessness when GPS is off and some buses do not appear in the app.
Reliability issues due to detours and weekend service not reflecting real conditions.

Recent reviews

I stupidly trusted that the 55 was going to stop at Shady Grove Metro Station Bus Bay C, as listed in the app, instead of relying on the map showing it was heading to Bus Bay K or L instead. And because Bus Bay C is on the opposite side of the tracks from K/L, I missed the bus. You should accurately label which bus bay you are going to stop at, or what’s the use? Oh, I know. It’s that I was relying on logic, which is apparently something Montgomery County is still trying to figure out.
