The Manager of Riide Taxi says Saskatoon Transit’s enhanced app is the wave of the future.

Carlo Triolo believes transit-plus provides mobility as a service and is a huge step forward from when passengers would wait at bus stops hoping their connections will be on schedule.

The app allows travelers to call up the quickest and most efficient combination of transit, Uber, Riide taxis and even bicycle travel to arrive at destinations.

Saskatoon Transit Director Jim McDonald says it does the work of multiple apps and schedules while also booking vehicles and estimating how long trips will take.

He says users will be able to plan, book and pay for their taxi rides with just a few taps while getting real-time updates on their bus connections.
