Historically, transit apps (and riders) have been at the mercy of agency data.

With a good data feed, real-time locations take 10–30 seconds to update. With a bad data feed, it can take up to five minutes. It’s why sometimes your phone says a bus is one place, but your eyes say different. Which leaves you feeling frustrated.

After launching GO, we proved that we could do more than just relay agency data to riders. We could create it ourselves. Today, we’re launching it in St. Louis, and our 174+ other supported cities.

It means you can now see exactly where your bus (or train, or tram, or ferry) is in hyper-precise detail whenever a fellow rider is using GO.

In cities where real-time was once sketchy, crowdsourced GO data will make it more reliable. In cities where real-time was already decent? It just got even better. 😎
