Trip Planning

Get door-to-door directions from where you are to where you're going, with live transfers and turn-by-turn guidance built in.

Step 1

Search and compare route options

Open the trip planner and enter where you're headed. CityTransit uses your current location as the starting point by default, or you can set a different address. It then lists several ways to get there — compare total time, number of transfers and how much walking is involved, and pick the one that works for you.

Step 2

Review the full itinerary

Tap a route to see the whole trip laid out — an overview map of every leg, plus each walking segment and ride broken down with exact stop names and departure times, so there are no surprises before you head out.

Step 3

Follow live, turn-by-turn guidance

Once you're on your way, tap Start and CityTransit tracks your trip in real time — telling you exactly which bus or train to board, when it's arriving, and when to get off, leg by leg, all the way to your destination. If a transfer runs late, the trip updates live so you're never caught off guard.

Trip planning is best for getting from A to B, but if you just want to see every scheduled departure for a stop on a given day, tap Schedule from that stop's page for the full day's timetable.
