Bus Lark unofficial prototype by Axio Intelligence. Uses CAT's public GTFS data. Not affiliated with or endorsed by CAT, the City of Charlottesville, or ETA Transit Systems.

One platform, different perspectives

Keep riders informed.
Keep operations in view.

From the next arrival to the day’s service, bring the right information to the people who need it.

Capabilities below are DESCRIBED — product direction, not a claim of production availability.

For your riders DESCRIBED

Less guessing at the stop.

A rider portal designed to make the next bus easier to understand, with route maps, arrivals and service alerts in one place.

  • Live vs Scheduled: distinguish feed-based predictions from timetable arrivals.
  • Clear stale-data notices: tell riders when updates stop, instead of implying a bus is still moving.
  • Useful service alerts: put changes in context for the journey ahead.

For the people running the service

A shared view.
From desk to driver.

DESCRIBED

Dispatch & operations

See vehicles in context, identify off-route events and review detours. The demo explores dispatch workflows without sending instructions to real buses.

DESCRIBED

A focused driver tablet

Route guidance, stop information and dispatch messages in a dedicated driver view. Driver interactions in the prototype are simulated.

Trust the information behind the map

Clarity goes beyond a bus location.

DESCRIBED

GTFS-RT feed health

Understand the source behind an arrival. Track freshness and availability across vehicle positions, trip updates and service alerts.

DESCRIBED

Reports you can take with you

Review service performance with clear metric definitions. Reports and exports are planned to support the way your agency works.

DESCRIBED

Accessibility from the start

WCAG 2.1 AA is the design target: keyboard access, readable contrast, clear labels and layouts that support zoom. Formal conformance is not yet certified.

DESCRIBED

Your agency. Your workspace.

A multi-tenant cloud platform designed around separate agency data, staff permissions and branding, with room to add agencies as you grow.

How it works

Start with the feeds.
Build toward the fleet.

Keep the rider and staff experience consistent as the source of your transit data evolves.
