Introducing Live Bus Tracking for a Better Riding Experience in Hudson and Greenport
The Spark of Hudson is excited to announce a new feature that enhances the convenience and reliability of public transportation for residents in Hudson and Greenport. Riders on the popular Shopping Shuttle, operated by ProPark, can now access live updates of the bus location and arrival times.
By visiting here or downloading the BusWhere app, riders can stay informed and plan their journeys more efficiently.
With the live tracking service, passengers can effortlessly monitor the current location of the Shopping Shuttle and receive estimates on when the bus will arrive at their desired stops. This feature complements the existing bus schedule, providing riders with added assurance and convenience. The initiative aligns with the goals outlined in the 2017 Columbia County Public Transportation Plan, emphasizing the importance of reliable and accessible bus services to the community.
“We are delighted to offer this improved experience to our riders, aiming to make their journey on ProPark's Shopping Shuttle even more enjoyable," says Emmanuel Martinez of ProPark. This development is made possible through the support of Federal and State grant funds, as well as the generous contribution from The Spark of Hudson in collaboration with The Eutopia Foundation.
Susan Danziger, Founder of The Spark of Hudson and the Eutopia Foundation, acknowledges the growing ridership and the significance of public transportation in the community. She states, "The real-time tracking feature is a significant step towards providing a user-centric transportation solution for our residents."
Please note that the live bus tracking is available exclusively during the extended ProPark hours: 2:55 PM to 8:00 PM Monday to Saturday and Sundays from 11 AM to 3 PM. The Shopping Shuttle service between 6:45 AM and 2:55 PM operates with different vehicles and does not offer live tracking. Columbia County also offers additional routes and dial-a-ride services for seniors, veterans, and individuals in need of medical transportation.
Stay connected and enjoy a more seamless riding experience with the Spark of Hudson!
