Created for the Human-Computer Interaction (Spring 2015) class at the University of Florida.
Features:
- Real time bus tracking of Gainesville RTS buses using TransLoc data.
- Ability to search for places of interest.
- Trip/route planning using data provided by the Google Directions API.
Known Issues:
- There is no arrow on bus icons showing which direction the bus is traveling. This has been suggested by multiple people and is definitely needed.
- The bottom slide-up panel can act wacky in rare occasions. I think we've eliminated most of the issues, however.
Notes:
- Thanks for using our app! We hope you enjoy it.
- We make no guarantees when you use this app. We use the official bus tracking data that is provided for free from TransLoc. Sometimes there may be delays or GPS outages that we (and sometimes even TransLoc) cannot control.
- Currently we only support the Gainesville, FL area, but in the future it would be possible to support any TransLoc location.
