To better serve the increasing number of OCTA customers and others who use mobile devices, the OCTA website has been optimized for smartphone viewing. Nearly 40 percent of all visits to the website, octa.net, are made from mobile devices.
Now, when a customer on the go wants to check the train schedule, the information will load smoothly thanks to something called “responsive web design” that prompts content - both text and graphics - to respond to the size of the screen. No matter how they access the site, OCTA customers and other stakeholders will get the same content and the same reliable viewing experience. The only difference is that for mobile users, the content will be enhanced for readability and navigation on a smaller screen.
Having such flexibility is essential for those who use public transportation and rely on their phones for schedules, costs and trip planning on the go. Others who will appreciate the mobile site include government officials, business leaders, and the media, who may need to find transportation information quickly while away from their offices.
