For anyone who takes the bus in Seattle often, here's a really handy $10 application that saves you from standing at the bus stop wondering where on earth that bus is.
"Waiting for a bus is
about as thrilling as fishing,
with the similar tantalisation that
something, sometime, somehow, will turn up."
- George Courtauld (1938 - )
British civil servant and author.
"The Travels of a Fat Bulldog."
The first screen shot shows your current GPS location as a red target, and up to 10 bus routes with the actual current location transmitted from each bus in real time (updates collected every 3 minutes or so). So, used in tandem with Google transit on the iPhone (see previous post) this application can tell you how soon that bus is coming so you can make your connections.
As you zoom in to a bus stop (second screen shot), you can see the pending arrival times of each bus at that stop.
