ECAT Rolls Out New Website

March 27, 2014

Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) announced the launch of the new www.goecat.com website Wednesday. The site was redesigned and streamlined for easier navigation and faster access to the tools people need to plan their travel on ECAT.

The site has user-friendly navigation that allows the site to be a more comprehensive resource to the community, providing information about how to ride, news, online ticket ordering, visitor information, transit connections, advertising information and more.

The star of the new website is the trip planner application, which is an interactive transit map that locates routes and bus stops. Users can zoom in on transit stops and see the routes that serve it as well as view any related bus routes or stops within 1000 feet. With another click, customers can plan a trip to or from that stop by inputting their beginning start and final destination addresses.

    I thought most people that rode the buses were poverty level; therefore too poor to have internet access or even need to use this website. The money I am giving the ECAT (yes, me, you and everyone who buys gas that NEVER rides the bus!!) is paying for this website! Are you kidding me? What a joke! It sounds like taxation without representation and a misappropriation of funds. I want legal action taken! Until ALL of Escambia County is given access to ride ECAT, something needs to CHANGE!

    wait wait..

    didnt we just get a gas tax hike because ECAT did not have enough riders to pay for itself.. where did they get money for a new website with tools most people riding the bus dont have access to or dont know how to use?
