GRTC announced a new service it’s offering free of charge. Through the Transit app, riders will automatically qualify for a Transit Royale subscription.

Royale lets riders customize themes, get real-time information, and make their mark with personalized emojis.

Want to get started? Once you’ve got the Transit app, you should get a message over the next week about being upgraded to Royale. From there, the extra features will be made available.

Download the app.
