A digital application providing real-time location data and route information for the public transportation system on a specific barrier island is examined. This application is offered without cost to the user, enabling convenient access to transportation schedules and arrival times. As an example, consider a visitor using their smartphone to determine when the next southbound trolley will arrive at a particular stop.
The availability of such a resource significantly enhances the experience of both tourists and residents. It promotes the use of public transportation, reducing reliance on private vehicles and alleviating traffic congestion. The free access removes a financial barrier, making it a valuable tool for navigating the island and supporting sustainable tourism. Historically, access to transportation information often relied on paper schedules or physical signage, methods less adaptable to real-time changes.
