Download Metrobus schedules to Pocket PCs

Schedules for all Metrobus routes in Virginia, and select routes in the District of Columbia and Maryland can be downloaded to Windows-based and Palm personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Providing the download feature for Windows-based devices or Pocket PCs, allows more people to have electronic schedules at their fingertips. For several years, riders have been able to download Metrobus timetables to PDAs that use Palm software.

Visit www.commuterpage.com/handheld to download schedules for all transit systems in Northern Virginia. The Pocket PC version may require a lengthy download. Send comments about the program and installation to http://www.commuterpage.com/schedules/pocketpc_comments.cfm
