2. Scroll down on Where’s My Ride page to Online Portal section and select link (highlighted below).

4. Find your stop and click on the number to see the next arriving bus and future arrivals.

5. Favorite your preferred routes for easy access! The favorite heart is shown on the routes drop-down menu (see step 3) and you can actually favorite your stop on the route guide (see step 4). To access your favorites, click the menu button in the top left corner.
