Transit riders in the Cowichan Valley will be able to see where the bus is along a route and predicted arrival times at any selected stop on their computers, cell phones and other devices later this month.

And the rest of the province should follow in short order.

With the system already operating in some of B.C.’s largest urban markets, the Cowichan transit system has been chosen to be the first in the province to start NextRide’s next phase.
