View the route and stop locations
View your bus in real-time by using our Real-Time Map (RTM) feature below. The RTM will give you information about the current route status such as the bus location and updated arrival times so you can manage your time more efficiently.
How To Use
Click on or hover over the bus (moving dot) travelling towards your stop along the route viewable on your mobile.
How Real-Time Map Works
RTM uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite technology to track the bus and provide its approximate location. Once the vehicle is located, the system then predicts when the bus will depart future stops. Factors such as scheduled time, vehicle speed and distance help provide this information.
While Bracebridge Transit expects most predictions to be reasonably accurate, the technology is complex and relies on multiple systems, on and off the bus to work together. Because of this complexity, riders may occasionally receive inaccurate information when one system fails to communicate with the others.
Public Alerts
If the bus is delayed due to an unusual event such as detours, incident, weather or equipment problem, a public alert notice will be posted. To view Public Alerts, press the "speaker phone" icon at the top right corner of the map. Please check public alert notices up to a half-hour prior to your scheduled departure time.
Best practice
A rider should still arrive at their stop at least 10 minutes before the predicted or scheduled departure time. The closer the bus is to a stop, the more accurate the prediction is likely to be. If you have made an early inquiry, recheck closer to the actual time to verify the bus departure time. Departure times can change due to factors such as weather, traffic delays or the travel speed of the bus.
