Enhancements on the Horizon
- Standardization System-Wide: You asked for it, and our team heard you. Our fares are being standardized to create a simple and easy-to-use transit system to meet the growing need in our communities. We are excited to see continued growth in public transportation all over the state, and Arrowhead Transit is excited to be leading that charge.
- Mobile Payment Solutions: We are excited to introduce mobile apps and in-app payment options, making it easier for riders to access our services without the hassle of cash transactions. This modernization is part of our commitment to improving the overall rider experience.
- Improved Scheduling and Tracking: Our enhanced scheduling system will allow passengers to plan their trips with greater ease. Real-time tracking capabilities mean that riders will always know when their bus is arriving, reducing wait times and increasing confidence in our services. Think Uber or Lyft!
