METRO Real-Time Soft Launch

Santa Cruz METRO is pleased to announce a first look at METRO Real-Time services. 

Go to rt.scmetro.org to try it out.

During March and early April we are gradually equipping our entire fleet of buses with the necessary equipment to report real-time location and estimated arrival times via website, SMS text message, and Google Transit Real-Time feed for all transit apps. 

During this equpment rollout period, we do caution that NOT ALL buses in service on the road are reporting their location to the real-time system, but we estimate the entire fleet will be equipped by mid-April.

On rt.scmetro.org check the route you are interested in on the map.  If you see a live bus updating it’s location on the route map, then arrival predictions will be available.  We encourage you to also register and subscribe to Service Alerts in the new real-time system to receive service alert notifcations. 

If your route of interest DOES NOT show a live bus en route during this interim, then go to cruzmetro.com and look for your route there.  Once we complete rollout, cruzmetro.com will be taken down permananently.
