How to use the Web Portal

Requesting a Ride
-
Using the menu button on the left, and select New Ride.
-
Select your service area, then choose your “From” and “To” locations, passenger count, and the time of your trip.
-
To choose your “From” and “To” locations, select them from the map, then hover your mouse over the ‘star’ button towards the bottom right. You can select the ‘plus’ button that is revealed to lock in your choice. Alternatively, you can search for your stop or location.
The locations you can request a trip to and from will change depending on your service. Some services can book from addresses or points of interest, while others are restricted to only transit stops.
Service Area Restriction means that your agency has restricted rides between the two stops you selected. This typically means that your trip falls into a different service (e.g. a fixed route bus) – and you should use that service to get to your destination.
Monitoring your Ride
-
A few hours before your trip is scheduled, your main screen will tell you that your vehicle is coming soon, and present you with an estimated time of arrival
-
When your stop is the next stop on the vehicle’s route, you will get an “enroute” message
-
As the vehicle arrives, your screen will change once more to display a boarding code. Your driver will board you manually or scan your barcode
