## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.
