TRACKING

UTA's buses and trains report their locations every 15 seconds (Flex routes are not included).

TRAX and FrontRunner route numbers:
Blue line - 701
Red line - 703
Green line - 704
FrontRunner - 750

- Put in a route number and see all vehicles on that route, put in a stop number to see all buses serving that stop, or put in an individual vehicle number (printed inside and on the back of UTA buses).

ROUTE SCHEDULES

- You can request a route schedule for any UTA route by entering its number. Schedules can be viewed as origin/destination tables or on a map. On the map, see when the next bus/train is scheduled to arrive by tapping on a stop. See all times for that stop by tapping on the info window that appears.

CLOSE STOPS

- Select your current location or an address you enter or select on a map as a search location for UTA stops that are nearby. You can specify a maximum number of stops to return as well as an optional route filter.

ALERTS

- You can define alerts for when a UTA vehicle is approaching or arriving at a particular stop. These alerts are based on distance from the stop, using the shape of the route defined by UTA.

- Because these alerts depend on the vehicle following the shape defined by UTA, if the vehicle is on detour, or if the vehicle isn't following the defined route for some other reason, your alert may not trigger as expected.

TWITTER

- Transit Tracker - Utah displays the latest updates from @RideUta.

Other features:

Ratings and reviews

The tracking on the buses don't work & I know I can track them on UTA official site. So I know that's working, just not on the app. However I can use the app to get schedules of times on the buses. Its annoying that I can't track the buses at all without having to go through their official website so if you can fix this I would appreciate it please

I depend on this app to do my job, and that's really unfortunate. It's the most accurate tracker for UTA vehicles, but it is full of bugs and can be significantly off on vehicle locations.

I've used this app now for almost seven years and found it to be reliable. It does have a quirky user interface in its route search, but I got used to it. I paid to get the premium version.
