An update is now available on the Apple App Store that fixes crashes iOS users have experienced using the MyDART app.

A few weeks ago, our mobile app provider released a software patch, which then caused the MyDART app to crash for iPhone users when using the Trip Planner or Next Bus features. To fix the issue, our vendor worked on a major app update for iOS.

We apologize for the challenges this may have caused in the last few weeks.
