Miles Transit

Your riders can see where the bus is.

A live map of your buses on your own website, your GTFS and GTFS-Realtime feeds authored and maintained, and a free 60-day pilot with a hard end date. The transit product, whole, at one price per vehicle.

How it works

  1. STEP 1·DAY 0

    We pick where positions come from

    A phone in each bus running our free Miles Tracker app, the GPS or AVL you already pay for, or trackers you buy from the list we have tested. Which one fits your fleet is a ten-minute conversation, not a purchase order.

  2. STEP 2·SAME DAY, OR ~30 MIN / BUS

    You set them up

    A phone takes one QR code and about two minutes. A wired tracker is three wires — power, ground, and ignition sense. No shop visit either way, and we walk the first one through on a call.

  3. STEP 3·SAME WEEK

    The map goes live on your site

    Your web person pastes one line. The map appears on your page, under your branding. Riders never leave your domain.

  4. STEP 4·WEEKS 2–6

    We author your feeds

    We build your GTFS and GTFS-Realtime from your timetable, keep them valid as you change service, and we handle the submission to Google Maps and the Transit app. Approval is theirs and takes weeks.

What the monthly bill includes

  • 02A rider-facing live map showing where every vehicle actually is.

GTFS, GTFS-Realtime and the NTD

Static and realtime, published

Your GTFS feed validated before every publish; vehicle positions and service alerts published as GTFS-Realtime. Trip updates — arrival predictions — are not built and not promised: we ship positions.

The 2026 NTD requirements

What the National Transit Database actually asks for, in plain language, and the honest note that you do not need Miles to comply. Read it.

Your files are yours

We hand the GTFS files over in a zip on request, and the feed URLs keep serving until you tell the registries to drop them.

Accessibility and procurement

Accessible by obligation

Built to WCAG 2.1 AA, with a published conformance report that names the one criterion we do not meet yet.

Priced to skip the procurement

Sized so most agencies can buy without running one. Check the current threshold against your own FTA and FAR guidance; we will not quote a number we cannot stand behind. Purchase orders, invoicing and annual prepay are all fine.

The 60-day pilot

The whole service, every vehicle, your feeds included, on the phones your drivers carry or the GPS you already run — free for 60 days, with a check-in call and a hard end date. On that date you decide whether to keep it, at the price on the pricing page. We take no card to start, so nothing renews by itself.

Transit agencies and shuttles

Set up with you, with your feeds authored and a check-in call. 60 days free with a hard end date we tell you at the start.

Fleets, deliveries, taxis, field teams

Phones you already own, the GPS you already run, or compatible hardware. A person sets you up this week, and the first 14 days are free.
