When's that bus coming? Check your phone

Transit riders in Charlottetown, Stratford and Cornwall will soon be able to track their buses using their phones.

T3 Transit, along with the municipalities, has accepted a bid from a company called ReadyPass for a GPS tracking program. The ReadyPass system will allow people to track bus arrival times using an app on their smartphones.

Each of the municipalities will contribute to the $47,000 total cost. Charlottetown council approved its share Monday night.

T3 Transit expects the program will be ready in the fall.
