MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Area Transit Authority announced plans to bring a better ride across the city.

The company said Monday it’s expanding its on-demand service by launching a new mobile app, GO901.

Customers will be able to see real time bus arrival time information from their phones, letting them know when busses will arrive and routes, MATA said.

Customers can log on to the app, available on the App Store or Google Play Store, or their website to access this feature.
