VTA - GTFS Read and Show
Free AppAbout VTA - GTFS Read and Show
Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority (VTA) runs buses and light-rails in Santa Clara County. An unfamiliar rider might not realize how saturated the bus system has become. With this application you will be able to see where and when the buses will arrive and where they will take you.
This application is built in response to a programming competition for VTA. The app downloads the GTFS data file provide by VTA, loads, and displays the stops on a Google Map. You can Click on the Stops and see the arrival times as defined in the data file.
The application is still under development.
A future version will display the route schedules in a manner consistent with current printed route schedules.
A future version will include an algorithm to determine the best way to use the buses to get to a specific destination.
A future version will include notification to remind the user when to pull the chord.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
Verison 0.1.6
1) More than two sequences may exist per route. I no longer assume that there are only two (forward and back). Check out < seq > on the different routes.
2) You can select your route through show map view.
3) I have hidden select destination... you should see it by 0.1.8.
4) 0.1.7 will allow better management of the gtfs data file and may allow more than just vta...
5) bugs exist, sorry.
Still Under Development.
Notice the 0.x.x versioning.

Not a very smooth interface. The only reason I like it is because it has the bus schedules. There is NO OTHER vta app that has ALL the schedules, bus and light rail. What's up?

Takes to long to load every time i open it. The time schedule arent in order by stops like the paper booklet, so i have to spend at of time looking for the stop. I think i am better off just scanning and saving a pdf file of the bus schedule.

Definitely rough, and not pretty, but GPS and proximity location work. Schedules are there but, again, rough. Interface needs work. I could see paying a nominal amount for this app to support continued development
