Types of Transit Apps

Google Maps Transit mobile web/app Photos/Photosynth Text based bus stop codes Hopstop – web & phone transit planning Coocoo – Text based rail planning iNap – Radius Alarm Train Board Viewers Exit Strategy – Infrstructure/Accessiblity App

What kinds of Apps do you use?

Chicago Transit App - Greater Good Studios

They are creating a new mobile app for navigating public transit.

Philosophy of bringing all of the different types of transit apps into one.

“Kickstarter” - crowdsourced fundraising

Three ways it is different

They are creating a new mobile app for navigating public transit. 1. It integrates bus and train.

2. It uses real-time arrival data (where available).3. It’s designed and influenced by people who use

it

New iPhone/iPad will not have Google maps Apple Maps will have driving & walking – NO TRANSIT Who wants to use 20 different platforms One platform is better if it is well designed

What will this app do?

Focus on many aspects of trip as opposed to plain schedule data.

It could let you pay your fare without taking out your wallet.

It could tell you whether you'll get a seat on this bus, or to wait for a seat on the next one

It could wake you up right before your stop It could know you were traveling with a stroller or mobility

device, and give you a route with elevators at every stop It could keep track of how much gas you've saved, so you

could justify those new shoes! The mother of all transit apps, all rolled into one.

What will this app do cont’d

It could integrate with weather, and remind you to bring an umbrella

It could include a coffee shop pit stop on every morning trip It could sync with your calendar, know you had an appointment,

then work backwards to tell you when to leave the house It could give you great transit-related excuses whenever you

were running late It could help you find locations for bike parking/rentals, car-

sharing, taxis You could send complaints to transit, so they could improve

access These are just a handful of ideas that could be a part of the app Participate!
