November 2022

We've been working to bring you enhanced solutions with some improvements to our ecosystem. Riders will now be given an option for directions to/from a Point of Interest

We've been working to bring you enhanced solutions with some improvements to our ecosystem. Riders will now be given an option for directions to/from a Point of Interest once they click on it, reservations including a bike or wheelchair will let riders know if that space type is full, and riders can now see a "Change Password" prompt in Account Settings.

Within our admin portal users will now be able to filter between fixed route and on-demand vehicles on the map, yard capacity can now be added to a yard stop and the backend has been updated for creating, updating and deleting resource rules.

Read on to find out what else we've been up to this month!
