en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) in New York State, USA, has announced that arrival prediction accuracy for its fixed-route public transit services has reached 90% through a partnership with Moovit. Serving New York State's capital, Albany, and the surrounding region, the agency has integrated the arrival prediction feature into its Navigator app and website, www.cdta.org. Located approximately 271 kilometers north of New York City on the Hudson River, Albany has a city population of about 102,000, with a regional population of approximately 1.3 million.

Powered by Moovit, Navigator is Albany's central mobility platform, allowing passengers to plan trips, track vehicles in real-time, pay fares, and book on-demand services all in one place. The new system dynamically adjusts location data by analyzing real-time vehicle positioning, current traffic conditions, and historical travel patterns, thereby optimizing estimated arrival times. "For many passengers, shorter wait times mean greater flexibility, less time waiting outdoors, and stronger control over their schedules," said Ziv Kabaretti, Chief Product Officer at Moovit. "By combining predictive AI technology with CDTA's operational expertise, we are delivering tangible improvements that passengers experience every day."

Navigator sees approximately 30,000 active monthly users, including 8,000 daily active users. Since 2023, monthly active users have grown by 50%, with more than 450,000 trips planned monthly and over 167,000 downloads. "Providing reliable, user-friendly technology solutions across all CDTA platforms, including the Navigator app and cdta.org, is one of our top priorities," said Thomas Guggisberg, Director of Information Technology at CDTA.

CDTA also reports a significant reduction in wait times for its FLEX on-demand service following adjustments, including a transition to point-to-point pickup/drop-off and the opening of a third zone in Saratoga Springs (population approx. 30,000) in late 2025. CDTA provides local, express, commuter, and rapid transit services across its six-county service area and was named the Best Medium-Sized Public Transit System in North America in 2017 by the American Public Transportation Association.

Moovit currently serves over 1.5 billion users in more than 3,500 cities across 112 countries and regions in 45 languages. Navigator is available for download on iOS and Android devices.
