RTS Plus Paratransit is a door-thru-first-door public transportation service designed for individuals with disabilities who are ADA Paratransit Eligible and unable to utilize the Regional Transit System (RTS) fixed route service independently. The service features specially trained bus operators, accessible vans, and buses with wheelchair lifts to help individuals with difficulty navigating stairs. RTS Plus riders can access shopping, social events, restaurants, medical appointments, hospitals, schools, jobs, and more. RTS Plus does not provide emergency medical transport services. Regional Transit System (RTS) also operates affordable origin-to-destination transportation through MicroTransit within designated zones in Gainesville. HOW IT WORKS: - To book a ride using your smartphone, simply set your pickup and drop-off address, choose a pickup or drop-off window, and indicate if you're bringing additional passengers. You can also book a ride over the phone by calling and speaking with one of our dispatchers. - Your bus fare can be paid in advance on your smartphone with a credit or debit card or on the day of your ride to the bus operator with cash. Our bus operators do not have change, so exact fare is needed. - You will receive an automated call or text reminder a day before your scheduled trip. You will also receive a call or text when your bus operator is on the way and upon arrival. The RTS Plus rider app lets you track your ride status in real-time! - Once the bus operator arrives at your pickup location, they will wait 5 minutes for you to appear. If they arrive early, the bus operator will wait until the start of your pickup window before starting the 5-minute wait period. - RTS Plus is a shared ride service, which means you may not go directly to your destination without your bus operator picking up or dropping off other riders along the way.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tires Plus at 4.8 against RTS Plus's 3.0. Tires Plus also leads on ratings volume (9.3K vs 4). RTS Plus's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tires Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tires Plus has 9.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Tires Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of RTS Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
