BCT Renames Mobile App to RideBCT With New Features

Paragraph 1

Broward County Transit riders can now plan trips, track buses in real time, and pay fares all in one place. The agency rebranded its BCT Mobile Ticketing App to RideBCT, consolidating features that previously required multiple apps, transit officials said. The update aims to simplify the rider experience by eliminating the need to switch between different platforms for basic transit tasks.

Paragraph 2

The rebranding represents a shift toward integrated mobile services in public transit. Transit agencies nationwide have moved to consolidate ticketing, tracking, and planning functions as smartphone adoption has increased among riders. Broward County Transit officials said the change responds to rider feedback requesting simpler digital tools. The agency didn't provide specific data on how many riders used the previous mobile ticketing app or what adoption rates they're targeting for RideBCT.

Paragraph 3

RideBCT features trip planning powered by Google integration, allowing riders to map routes and view schedules within the app. The platform supports Apple Pay and Google Pay for fare purchases, eliminating the need for cash or physical cards. The app's available on both Apple App Store and Google Play. Officials said the integration brings BCT's mobile offerings in line with other regional transit providers, though they didn't specify whether the app will eventually support cross-agency fare payment.

Paragraph 4

The RideBCT app is available now for download on both iOS and Android devices. Effective Saturday, February 28, 2026, the MyRide Broward Website and App will be retiring, officials said. The agency didn't provide details on whether MyRide users will need to manually transfer account information to RideBCT or if the transition will happen automatically. Officials also didn't specify whether existing mobile tickets purchased through the old app will remain valid after the transition date.

Paragraph 5

Riders who use reduced fare passes must visit Broward Central Terminal, Lauderhill Transit Center, Northeast Transit Center, or Government Center West to register for accounts with required documentation. Officials said they'll share service updates through BCT's eNewsletter, Transit Flash. Moovit provides real-time BCT bus tracking and trip planning for Broward County Transit riders throughout the service area.
