Calgary Transit says it’s worked out the kinks in its new real time information website.
The system, which was launched on Monday, allows users to enter a bus route or stop number into their smartphones and find out when their ride will arrive.
However, some users reported glitches earlier this week that led to the information being unavailable.
Director Doug Morgan says it was their first go at the new system and they had to watch it closely.
“It was quite a bit more traffic than we get on our old site, and we had never released the website with the different technology behind it, providing real-time information. We’d never released it to that many users; it’s hard to simulate,” he explained.
Morgan says things are running much more smoothly Wednesday, and they will continue to look for tweaks that can make the site even more user-friendly.
