New Bus Tracking System Now Available
Mountain Line’s new BUS TRACKER system allows you to view buses in real-time, search for stops and see bus routing, and set up alerts when buses approach your stop!
How Does it Work?
OTvia2™ displays a web page with a map of Mountain Line’s operating area. Buses are represented on the map as small blue and white icons which indicate the approximate location of the bus. The positions of the buses are updated every 30 seconds. Additional information, such as estimated arrival times at upcoming or nearby stops, can also be displayed. Users can also view estimated arrival times of the next one or two buses for a particular stop.
There are actually two types of Bus Stop Icons. Depending on the scale of the map selected by the user, stops may be represented either individually, or by an icon indicating two or more nearby stops. Stop Icons indicating more than one stop have a small black asterisk located at the top of the icon. Mousing over one of the multi-stop icons will display a list of the represented stops. The user may select additional information regarding their preferred stop from this list.
For more information and frequently asked questions, click the BUS TRACKER icon on Mountain Line’s welcome page and go to the HELP tab on the bottom left of the screen.
The system is still new, so please report any errors you encounter to our office.
