The MTD now has 14 STOPwatch locations in Champaign-Urbana, with more on the way. The STOPwatch system
tells you how many minutes it will be before your bus departs. This information is based
on the actual location of the vehicle, as tracked by a GPS system, and can be accessed in
any number of ways. This means that even if a bus is running behind schedule, you will know
its precise departure time. 
STOPwatch.PLUS uses LCD or plasma screens to give passengers even more information. They show date, time, and current weather
conditions. They also provide up-to-date reroute and safety information.
For more information please contact us. 
STOPwatch.JOURNEY helps you plan your trips within the MTD district service area.
Choose your to and from addresses, whether it's your own street address, business,
or landmark. STOPwatch.JOURNEY will tell you which route(s) to take, transfers,
and walking directions.
Keep a widget open at all times on your desktop. Type in the code for your stop,
(just like STOPwatch.TEXTMSG) and receive real time bus information for an MTD stop
throughout the day.
