RTA's journey planner proving popular
Uae transport.
- Environment
‘Wojhati' helps commuters plan their trips around the emirate
Dubai: Dubai has become the fifth city in the world, following London, New York, Munich and Melbourne, to provide a journey planner for commuters.
The journey planner, named ‘Wojhati', was launched earlier this year by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) as part of its efforts to encourage people to use public transport in the city.
"The Agency has added more than 14,000 landmarks, 34,000 commercial outlets, 1,919 bus stops [including bus stops for the Metro Stations Feeder Service] in Dubai to the Wojhati database," said Eisa Abdul Rahman Al Dossari, CEO of the RTA's Public Transport Agency.
He said journey planner kiosks had been installed at all Metro stations in order to help the public plan their journeys in advance and benefit from the integrated public transport systems.
"The provision of journey planners at all Metro stations makes it easy for commuters to use Wojhati in their travels across the city, and enables them to plan their travels at any time, even when they are on the move," he noted.
The system displays information about the routes and schedules of public buses, the Metro and the water buses.
Once the user enters the station number, the system displays various Metro lines together with a map of Dubai. The user has the option to customise the display of information to suit his or her journey.
The system is easy to use. Users can log on to the RTA website (www.rta.ae) and follow the simple steps. The RTA has already received more than 3,025 phone calls about Wojhati, showing increasing public interest in the service.

Plan a Trip
The RTA Trip Planner allows travelers to plan trips in the Chicago region using public transit (CTA, Metra and Pace) that include driving, biking and walking directions.
Transit App + RTA
Transit is RTA’s officially endorsed mobile app, and provides real-time arrival information for transportation services across the region. Whether you’re checking where the bus is, planning a trip to somewhere new, or want to pay your bus fare, Transit and RTA have you covered.
Getting started
When you first open the app, Transit uses your location to pinpoint the bus routes and other transportation services that are nearby.
Note: Be sure to allow Transit to access your location data during the setup process.
The route display provides pertinent information such as the route numbers, direction, and the name of the closest stop.
Swipe left or right on a route to switch between inbound and outbound route information. When you see a flashing wave icon next to an arrival prediction, that means there’s a GPS tracker on the bus providing the prediction.
Note: Since real-time arrival is based on current bus location, these predictions may change depending on traffic or weather conditions.
Tracking your bus
When you tap a route for more information, you’ll see a screen showing a route map, the next three departures, active and future alerts, and a list of stops – all in one place!
Planning your trip
From the main screen, tap the green search bar to plan a trip or search for a specific transit line. The icon on the right estimates travel times to your favorite destinations, like home or work.
When you choose an origin and destination, you can compare trips side by side. Tap a result for more details.
Service alerts
Service advisories from RTA are displayed in the app. When an alert is active, you will see an exclamation mark beside the route number. You can also choose to receive push notifications to your phone when alerts are issued.
Always take the same routes? Tap a route and then tap the star icon to add it to your favorites. Favorite routes always show up at the top of the list on the home screen when they are nearby. You can also view and modify your favorite routes and service alert subscriptions on the Settings page.
Paying your fare
Buying an RTA ticket on Transit is easy.
Start by tapping the “Buy Ticket” button.
Choose the ticket you want to purchase.
Enter your payment information.
Confirm your purchase, and choose to use your ticket now or save it for later.
When you’re ready to ride, activate your ticket. Look for the contactless scanner which is installed at the front of the bus. Scan your phone against the reader until the light turns green. A single beep indicates successful payment.
WHERE ARE MY TICKETS?
Tap the “gear” icon (top left corner of the main screen). Under “My tickets,” you can see the passes you have available, or purchase additional fares.
HOW DO I GET FREE TRANSFERS?
Base $2 fares purchased in Transit are valid for 90 minutes and eligible for free transfers system-wide. This means that buying your fare with Transit is a big upgrade over regular cash fares, which do not support transfers.
WHAT IS FARE CAPPING?
With fare capping, instead of buying passes in advance, you can also simply pay for each ride as you go. Once you’ve ridden enough to earn an unlimited pass, boom! You’ll be upgraded, you won’t be charged for additional rides until that pass expires.
This means you’ll never pay more than the cost of a day pass in a day, or more than the cost of a month pass in a month. You only pay for the trips you actually take – saving you money, and giving you more flexibility.
Download Transit today… and get more time back from your busy schedule!
No smartphone? No problem.
Unable to download Transit ? All RTA bus stops have a unique 5-digit stop number on them. When you text that number to 410-517-7977, we’ll text you back a list of live arrival predictions for that stop.
On a computer? Our routes show up on Google Maps, or you can visit live.goswift.ly/rtamaryland to view virtual maps of our routes. Just select the route, direction, and bus stop you want to see arrival times for.

- The Regional Transportation Authority Adds Important New Alerts to Trip Planner
The Regional Transportation Authority Adds Important New Alerts to Trip Planner June 13, 2018
The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is adding an important new feature to its Trip Planner service, found at www.rtachicago.org . Specific route information alerts are now included in directions provided to the customer. If a customer asks for directions from the City to Aurora, and Metra is experiencing a temporary delay, the RTA Trip Planner now includes this information in the directions provided to the customer. Likewise, if a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus stop is eliminated for months due to construction nearby, this will also be noted in the directions the customer receives from the RTA Trip Planner.
“The two million riders on CTA, Pace and Metra each weekday need to know of any changes in their commutes as soon as possible,” says Joe Costello, Executive Director of the RTA. “That’s why we are now offering this up to the minute information. If a CTA station elevator is out of operation, it can have real repercussions for riders with disabilities and caregivers traveling with strollers. Now, they’ll be alerted to the change when they are given the directions and can make a more informed choice when choosing a route. Riders who use the RTA Trip Tracker now have these alerts at their fingertips, on their computers and mobile devices.”
Please see a “screen shot” example of the new service offered by the RTA Trip Planner below:
RTA’s Trip Planner includes transit schedules and travel alerts for the CTA, Metra and Pace. The Trip Planner provides travel information using the region’s public transportation system, as well as driving, walking and bicycle directions.
Press Contact
With three transit systems and more than two million riders a day, there is always something interesting going on at the RTA. Get the latest scoop on everything all in one place.
