PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- SEPTA has launched a new tool to help riders gauge how crowded their bus is before they get on board.

It uses ridership information from a mix of sources to give estimates for each trip.

As more data is collected, the tool will also be used for all of SEPTA's modes of travel, the company says.
