I really wish someone would make a bus app that you can say “I am leaving from this address and going to this address” and it tells you what bus number to get on and where to get off. Maps really sucks at doing this, a lot of times it takes you a long way around or it totally gives you erroneous directions. I take the bus just about everywhere and am some what new to Seattle so getting around is a pain.

It will be very interesting when more government agencies begin to adopt the technology and efficiency these apps provide.

I would think SF would be a city ripe for this type of experiment, especially with some of their above ground Muni systems.

I can vouch for the Seattle bus app, it’s 10 bucks but it’s pretty awesome. Tracks all of the buses via GPS and you can watch the buses move along their routes in real time.

Also, there’s an iPhone app that wakes you up at a specific location. It’s called iNap: Arrival alert.

As you may know, this app has been released, and I find it very useful. It’s called seattle bus map. See more at http://www.mobclix.com/appstore/app/299293359
Nice photo, by the way!
