Metro Transit Tracker
Help for live arrival time estimates.
 

1. Select your route. Only routes operating on the current service day will be listed.

2. Select your travel direction.
Directions are typically listed as the end points of a route, or the order of a loop.

3. Select your bus stop. Stops are listed alphabetically by the street they are on, then include cross street location, direction and ID number.



Help for live map tracking. 

1. Select your preferred map service. Certain web browsers have better compatibility with Google Maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth.

2. Select your route. Only routes operating on the current day will be available in the pull-down menu.

3. View and interact with the map.

By default, Metro Transit Tracker will display the trace of the route, scheduled time point bus stops for the route, and all buses currently operating on the route. The travel direction of the bus can be implied from its orientation on the map, but clicking or hovering over the bus icon will open an info ballon with route direction, bus number, and next time pont information.

Similarly, clicking or hovering over a time point icon will display the estimated arrival time for buses scheduled in one or both directions of travel. Using the map legend, display of minor stops between time points can be turned on in the display as well.

Metro Transit Tracker will return the estimated arrival time for up to the next three buses scheduled on the selected route. The destination and trip via information for each trip will also appear. Most web browsers will support automated updates from Metro Transit Tracker every 60 seconds.
