ATL RIDES Brazil L +4

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.
