Thanks all on all your feedback! Working on a updated new version.
Shows the real time locations of Utah Transit Authoritys Buses, Trax, and FrontRunner routes. Quickly and easily shows the route, its stops, and where the vehicle is.
Many more exciting features coming! Working on getting schedules, and a few other fun features as fast as I can get them to you. Thank you for all your support. I ride FrontRunner, Trax and the Bus every day commuting to work, and I work on writing this app while Im on the train. This was something I wish I had on those cold mornings wondering where the train was, so I built it, and figure you all would like it too. If you like the app, please rate it, and let me know what features you would like in it. Ill try to build them for you.
Note: Only works for bus and train routes for UTA in Utah, USA. It uses UTA realtime and transit data that is provided as a service of Utah Transit Authority.
Pros and cons of iRideUTA app for iPhone and iPad
iRideUTA app good for
Good app , Route 516
Need to be updated 516 one of the end locations is 1300 south Trax ballpark ...
This app has the 516 go to 2100 south central point this in not correct.
October 2016. I use this app regularly for my favorite routes. The vehicle locator is worth every penny (even though its free). I hope to see the "trip planner" added soon!
Im a bus operator for UTA and this is a great way to track a bus I need to relieve "in the system." However, over a year ago the my location feature stopped showing my current location when I tapped the icon. Yes, I have the proper settings enabled on my phone (it also stopped working on my previous iPhone). Also, some of the physical routes have changed but the developer has not updated this apps maps.
Excellent work on the App. Smooth, efficient navigation. Bus locations are tremendously helpful for waiting passengers to know they have not missed it, or when its coming. Safe journeys. Thanks !!
Being able to see real time locations of buses and trax is very helpful. I used the app before and didnt like it, but I think it has improved in the past year. Keep up the good work!
Robert, I just downloaded the app and so far I like it. However, one thing that would improve the usability of the app would be to have the name of the stops appear once you zoom in to a certain extent. This will be very helpful; especially for people who arent familiar with the Trax lines. Thank you for the time and effort you have put into developing this app.
Some bad moments
My first and likely last tweet me on front runner. Stopped 30 mins no explanation. Really?
It only takes me 30 to drive it !! Someone else can save the world
It flashes like every few seconds. Annoying and the app hardly is useful. No way to save routes. No way to easily pick out stops. Just useless.
There are fewer and fewer busses showing on this app that some routes snow ZERO busses on a certain day. There hasnt been one single update since Ive downloaded this app which tells me the creators dont care about keeping it up to date. Ive missed countless busses due to this app. Not worth it (and its FREE).
This app could be so much better. Would like to be able to buy a ticket in the app using Apple Pay. Would be nice if it showed schedules or eta to selected destination.
The app crashes every time I open it on my iPhone 6. No bug fix provided by the developer.
If the frontrunner worked half as great as this app it would be a miracle, and this app is trash, but at least it allows me to see how late my train is everyday... so thanks for that I guess.
This app has not been updated with the new schedules for 2017.
