Online store boosts transit pass sales
Selling transit passes with an online store that accepts credit cards is a great way of making it more convenient for riders to purchase fare media, keep buses rolling on schedule (by avoiding time-consuming on-board pass sales), and even streamline ticket sales that usually happen through a retail location.
Ask Humboldt Transit Authority. So far, they’ve had a great experience with their new online store. It’s easy for everyone to use, and has helped them sell more passes. Plus, it was another great opportunity for positive press attention! Read more
Real-time arrival displays
Trillium recently collaborated with Viewpoint Geography for Bay Crossings to implement beautiful real-time “next arrival” displays for BART and SF Muni in downtown San Francisco locations.
Trillium provided the PHP application that serves up the data, and Viewpoint created a sleek, beautiful flash presentation to show the real-time data on large screen displays (see picture). Read more
Rio Vista Delta Breeze added to Google Transit
Trillium is proud to announce that another client, Rio Vista Delta Breeze in California has launched on Google Transit. Rio Vista has launched as part of the Google Transit Earth Day Challenge.
Rio Vista chose to put their schedules on Google Transit because scheduling was confusing riders. This will make things a lot easier.
Rio Vista Delta Breeze connects with six neighboring cities to Rio Vista. Some of them have their own public transportation systems, and I’m sure riders would love it to see those agencies included in Google Transit as well, to enable inter-system transit trip itinerary planning.
