How It Works
Let's explore a couple scenarios to see how these new mobility options benefit you.
Scenario #1: TO a SunLine Bus Stop
Bill needs to get to his office by 9am.
He begins planning a trip in the SunLine myStop app and sees that Route 2 will drop him one block from the office at 8:45am.
Bill remembers that SunLine is piloting a new program in his neighborhood that will conveniently pick him from home and give him a ride to the Route 2 bus stop.
Bill opens the SunRide app and summons a SunRide taxi and is picked up within 15 minutes.
Scenario #2: FROM a SunLine Bus Stop
After a long day at work, Bill is ready to go home. Bill hops on the Route 2 near his office and heads toward home.
While on the bus, he opens the SunRide app with his smartphone and orders a SunRide taxi to pick him up from the same bus stop he was dropped at earlier that morning.
When the bus gets to Bill’s stop, his SunRide taxi is waiting there to take him home safely.
