Lewis County Public Transportation to Provide FREE
Transit Royale Subscriptions for All Riders
 Lewis County Public Transportation is
upgrading all of its riders to Transit Royale, the
new subscription in Transit, Lewis County Public Transportation’s
official app. Beginning today, Lewis County Public Transportation riders
will have access to a free Royale subscription, which unlocks additional
features, special Lewis County Public Transportation branding, new
customization options, and complete access to the app across the more than
300 cities supported worldwide.
In August 2021, Royale launched
in cities where transit agencies had not already chosen Transit
as their official or recommended app for riders. Today, Lewis County
Public Transportation joins systems across the country in gifting Royale to
all its riders, with more agencies planning announcements in the coming
months.
As the update
rolls out over the next week, riders will receive a message in the app
informing them that Lewis County Public Transportation is upgrading them to
Transit Royale. From there, users can simply tap to redeem their free
subscription.
With Royale,
riders have access to power features such as customizable themes,
personalized emojis that allow riders to become celebrities on their local
bus line, and leaderboards for users competing to help the most riders with
Transit’s GO crowdsourcing feature.
This partnership
also unlocks the special ability for riders to switch the app icon and
theme to match Lewis County Public Transportation’s branding – offering
riders a world-class mobile app experience that is at once universal and
locally-branded.
Through Royale,
Lewis County Public Transportation is partnering with Transit to
provide a world-class app experience.
“Since Guillaume
and I started Transit almost a decade ago, our mission has been to
help people get around without their own car. As the company has grown,
we’ve always put public transit first, working closely with our partners
across the industry to bring everything riders need together in one place,”
said Sam Vermette, CEO of Transit. “By providing free Royale
subscriptions to everyone who rides, our partners at Lewis County Public
Transportation are working hand-in-hand with our
team to unlock the best app experience for riders. As we launch Royale, I’m
especially proud of how far we’ve come together.”
Samantha Brown,
Lewis County’s Community Development Program Specialist, is excited to
finally launch Lewis County Public Transportation on the Transit App. She
says, “By utilizing the Transit App, residents of Lewis County can conveniently
access up-to-date public transportation schedules, empowering them to
navigate our rural area with ease, improve mobility options, and enhance
connectivity within our community.”
To use this new
transportation tool, simply download it from the App Store or get it on
Google Play. This service is free to Lewis County Public Transportation
users. For more information, please visit https://lewiscountyny.gov/departments/public-transportation/
