Is your bus running on time today? Did you already miss it? Now you can easily tell on your smartphone or computer with MET's new Real-Time Map service!
The web-based map is accessible via the web browser on any web-connected device. Just click "Real-Time Map" in the MET Transit website's top menu bar, or visit the site directly at https://transit.unitegps.com/mt :
Once you click on the link, you'll see a list of all MET Transit bus routes:
Click on the route you wish to ride on, and a map will appear showing bus's current location (updated every five seconds). Note: If you don't see a green or red circle icon on the map, then the route is currently inactive.
The map will show:
- Black Lines with Arrows: The full bus route and the direction of bus travel.
- Green Circle With Arrow: The bus is moving in the direction shown by the arrow
- Red Circle With Arrow: The bus is currently stopped.
- Orange Circle: A major bus stop (click the circle to view the full schedule for that stop)
Keep in mind, you can flag down a bus to pick you up anywhere along the route, not just at the major stops!

See you on the bus!
