## What is ATL RIDES?

ATL RIDES is a free transit focused multimodal trip planning platform for the metro Atlanta region that will significantly improve the trip planning experience for transit riders by fully integrating all regional public transit operators and modes into a single platform. 

ATL RIDES fully integrates the latest route, scheduling, and realtime vehicle position information from all regional public transit operators into a single mobile app. The app also fully integrates multimodal trip options, including walking, biking, scooter/bikeshare, and driving links as part of a trip. App users can compare trips across modes and personal preferences, taking into account routes, travel time, distance, estimated monetary cost, ADA accessibility, calories, and environmental impact. Individual customers can then make travel choices that most align with their individual values: least-cost, least-time, most-environmentally conscious, etc.

By downloading and using the app you are helping to improve the platform and regional transit trip planning experience. 

*Users are encouraged to report any bugs and submit other suggestions for improving the app experience. Ongoing bug fixes and feature updates/enhancements will be made to the app.

ATL RIDES allows users to plan and save trips, receive service alerts, and dynamic rerouting of trips if a segment is delayed. The app fully integrates all regional transit services, ingesting transit feed data from multiple operators and allowing for trip plans that transfers across providers and modes.

### 3/5 — Reroutes and cancellations

*2023-11-19*

This app does not seem to capture reroutes and cancellations, of which there are many.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-11-16*

Google maps does a better job, and they didn’t take my taxpayer money to do it. Focus on building Beltline Rail and BRT.

### 3/5 — Great concept, needs some bugs fixed

*2023-11-15*

Found a major bug affecting trips to the airport. After arriving at the airport terminal by train, the app adds a 30-minute walk out to the middle of the tarmac where the location pin is. This is a devastating bug because the number one use case for this entire app, especially for car drivers who are transit-curious, is “How can I get from my house to the airport without driving?” That bug makes the commute look much longer than it actually is, which discourages users from trying public transit.

### 1/5 — Just terrible.

*2023-11-14*

The basic functionality works, but it’s so frustrating that Atlanta wastes time and public money on apps like this. We need a system that’s integrated with all mapping apps vis an open source API; and a payment system that uses the built in wallets on every smartphone on the world. Stop it with these weak custom apps!
