On Saturday, November 26, 2022, real-time information about Penn Transit’s on-request shuttle services will transition to a new app—PennTransit Mobile. The new free app, which will replace the current PennRides on Request app, will offer several enhancements to riders’ current on-demand shared ride experience including:

• Improved arrival estimates
• The ability to see Penn Transit’s fixed-route and on-demand options on one screen
• Integration of bike sharing and walking options
• Commonly requested campus points of interest

In addition to the above features, riders can continue to:

• Schedule a ride in advance
• Receive notification when the driver has arrived at the pick-up location
• Ensure that an ADA-accessible vehicle is deployed for rides requested from individuals needing such access

PennTransit Mobile is currently available for download from the Apple App Store or Google Play. All Penn community members with PennKey credentials can download the app.

While the app will not be in use until November 26, it is important that riders download the app now in order to be ready when our transportation service transitions to PennTransit Mobile.  Doing so ensures that individual service can continue uninterrupted.
