Kitsap Transit plans real-time location info

Kitsap Transit (WA) plans to install automatic vehicle location equipment on all its buses, with a goal of providing real-time information to its customers via smart phones, computers, and kiosks at major stops. “It’s really whiz-bang,” service development director John Clauson told the Kitsap Sun. “I’m very excited about having texting ability, having the kiosks, all of those features the folks are going to be using.” The agency also plans to install automated passenger counting equipment in buses and ferries to support service planning and to help meet federal data collection requirements.
