In an effort to attract new riders and make its service easier for all riders, you can now figure out your SMART bus route on Google Transit!
You just type in your starting and ending locations (which can be exact addresses, intersections or general locations like "downtown Detroit") and it will give you the best route, including bus numbers and walking distances. You can even choose when you want to leave or arrive and it will tell you bus times!
It doesn’t yet include DDOT routes, so if your travel includes Detroit, it’s important to remember that it only considers SMART buses. It’s still a new service that may have some bugs, so certainly contact SMART or Google if you identify problems. But even with these limitations, its a great new service. Check it out!
