HONOLULU (KHON2) — A newly redesigned app aims to make the commute easier for people who rely on public transportation.
The City of Honolulu’s Department of Transportation Services (DTS) announced the official integration of the newly redesigned “Transit App”.
Riders of TheBus and Skyline can track in real time, plan trips with transfers between TheBus, rail, and Biki, and service alerts.
As part of the partnership with DTS, Honolulu riders will also receive free access to “Transit Royale”, the app’s premium subscription service.
The city says “Transit Royale” unlocks advanced customization tools and features, such as personalized themes, access to complete schedules and real-time info and leaderboards and achievements.
“As we expand mobility across Oʻahu with new Skyline and bus routes, we’re committed to giving riders the best tools to move with confidence. The Transit app brings a user-friendly, reliable experience to the palm of your hand, making wayfinding easier, and getting you where you need to be, on-time. Transit Royale will allow our riders access to the best version of the app at no cost to them.”

Following the major redesign, the app now includes ETA Cards, a refined typeface and a new neon dark mode.
“This redesign is more than an aesthetic update,” said Sam Vermette, CEO of Transit App. “It makes Transit easier to use, more informative, and more fun. Our work wouldn’t be possible without our agency partners. We’re proud to be working hand-in-hand with DTS to unlock the best app experience for their riders.”
The Transit app is available for free on iOS and Android devices.
