Centro has launched its first mobile app.

The new "Go Centro Bus" app provides customers with access to real-time transit information directly on their smartphones or tablets.

The app is available for free on iOS and Android devices and uses GPS technology to show riders the exact location of their bus on a Google map while providing arrival times to the exact minute.

“This is a significant step up in our transit technology,” said Centro Chief Executive Officer Rick Lee. “This app allows our riders to see exactly where their bus is and when it’s going to arrive at their stop. It’s reassuring information that allows them to make better use of their time, while knowing their bus is on the way.”

The app also provides customers with a trip planning feature.

Centro representatives will be at the Utica Transit Hub on December 20th to answer questions and assist customers with setting up the app on their mobile devices.
