Technology You Can Use
Attention Penn State Altoona students! AMTRAN’s new myStop technology can tell you when your bus will be at your stop either on the internet or on your mobile phone. You don’t have to stand out in the rain or snow and wonder where your bus is.
Online – Just click the myStop logo above. You are just two mouseclicks away from getting real-time information on any bus in AMTRAN’s system. Click on your route, then click on your bus stop. GPS technology will tell you when your bus will arrive.Mobile phone – Just dial 944-1200 and punch in your bus stop number (206# for the Hawthorn shelter). myStop will tell you when your bus will arrive.
(You can find your bus stop number on the sign at your stop or by clicking on your stop location on the online myStop map for your route.)
To see a video about myStop by Penn State Altoona graduate, Sam Wagner, just click on the myStop video button on the right.
Chris's Story - working but struggling
“Riding the bus is important to me because, like many others in our community, I am struggling financially right now. I can’t afford to keep or maintain a vehicle at this time, so driving is not an option. The bus service provided by AMTRAN is affordable for me. The bus takes me to work every day, to the stores, or wherever I need to go. At the moment my fiancé is pregnant and I use public transit to get from Greenwood to her obstetrician appointments across town.”
“Being new to the Altoona, I don't know many people and I have no family in the area to help me get around. Riding the AMTRAN buses helps me to help myself.”
