GoBus Goes Paperless
On March 22nd, GoBus Dispatchers and drivers went live with a new paperless way
of scheduling and fulfilling trips. The new system, RouteMatch, uses computer software to schedule trips and make best use of the resources and time available by ride sharing and getting the maximum amount of people whom are traveling to similar locations on the buses and ensures a ride back is scheduled.
The new system produces the most efficient routes automatically, and in the future, may be able to add trips scheduled last minute on the same day by seeing which buses are traveling nearby with time to spare. To schedule a trip with GoBus, call
toll free at 1.800.590.3371 or for more information Click Here. |
