Hot on the heels of our myFleet iPad App, we're excited to announce the release of our new iPhone application.
Now available to Enterprise and Custom Edition customers, this App offers iPhone based schedules, trip planning, and rider alerts. The App is ready for out-of-the-box enterprise deployment, or as a starting point for further customization by an in-house development team.

After hearing the request for print friendly schedules from a number of our customers, we've updated our schedules tool to include an option for printer-friendly PDF timetables.
To access a print friendly version of a schedule, follow these three simple steps:
Note that if the selected route travels in two directions, the print friendly version will include both directions of that route.
