The City of Plymouth and Integrated Traffic System
s LLC have collaborated to help solve an age-old problem in town – avoiding train delays.
The Plymouth Trains app allows users to receive a notification and an estimated waiting time when a train is blocking the road. There are settings to let you receive notifications all the time or for just a specific time or day of the week. Another optional setting uses your location and sends a notification when you’re within range of a blocked crossing. The “chance of train” feature can help you plan your trip by seeing the likelihood of a blocked crossing.
The app is still in development and is currently active for only the Farmer St. crossing. We are working through infrastructure and technology issues to cover the remaining crossings in the City.
The app is available both on the Apple App Store and the Android Play Store.
