In September 2012 Cherriots launched a new website. In June 2014 we've further refined and improved the website to help riders and potential riders find the information they need, fast.
This presentation will walk you through those improvements.

2. HOMEPAGE
• Removed blog stream to make homepage less cluttered. If you want
info about news and events, click the News & Events menu option.
• Made Twitter Feed more prominent. This helps riders get real-time
info and updates.
• Added a link to the Jobs page in the footer for easy access.
3. UPDATED GOOGLE MAPS
You may have noticed we’ve recently updated our Google Maps on each
individual Routes page. The updated maps are both accurate and
provide outbound and inbound routes, rather than just one single-
colored loop.
4. PARK & RIDE
Park & Ride locations are
now easier to find. We’ve
added them to each
individual route map.
Coming soon: a brand new
page dedicated to Park &
Ride.
5. INDIVIDUAL BUS STOP PAGES
We’re adding a distinct image of each bus stop to its page so that
people can easily “see” where their bus stop is located and what it looks
like. (This is an on-going project.)
Where can you find these pages? Just click on your route and look for a
list of bus stops on the lower left hand corner. Each stop is a link to
information about when the bus is due at that stop.
6. REORGANIZED FARES PAGE
We’ve reorganized the
Fares page to make it
easier to find your correct
fare, fast. See our new
fares table to find your
fare.
7. IMPROVEMENTS TO COME
• We will soon be testing a NEW beta Trip Planner to improve the
trip planning experience. Look for a link within the current Trip
Planner to try it out.
• New Regional Transit page, a one-stop-shop for all transit
information in the region.
• We’re also in the process of updating some of the information on
the Cherriots.org site that has become outdated. This is an
ongoing project.
