TRACKING

- Put in one or more route numbers, separated by spaces or commas, and see all buses on those routes or put in an individual bus number (printed on the side of TriMet buses).

ROUTE SCHEDULES

- You can request a route schedule for any TriMet route by entering its number. Schedules can be viewed as origin/destination tables or on a map. On the map, see when the next bus is scheduled to arrive by tapping on a stop. See all times for that stop by tapping on the info window that appears.

CLOSE STOPS

- Select your current location or an address you enter or select on a map as a search location for TriMet stops that are nearby. You can specify a maximum number of stops to return as well as an optional route filter.

ALERTS

- You can define alerts for when a TriMet vehicle is approaching or arriving at a particular stop. These alerts are based on distance from the stop, using the shape of the route defined by TriMet.

- Because these alerts depend on the vehicle following the shape defined by TriMet, if the vehicle is on detour, or if the vehicle isn't following the defined route for some other reason, your alert may not trigger as expected.

Other features:

- Choose a light or dark theme.

- Show satellite imagery and/or color-coded traffic data on the map.

- Optionally keep the map screen from dimming and shutting off.

- Adjust the update interval of TriMet vehicle locations.

- Choose a custom ringtone for TriMet alerts.
