PDX Bus is a free application that displays arrival times for public transport in Portland, Oregon. This little application uses the Internet to quickly access TriMet's tracking data displaying arrival times perfectly formatted for the iPhone. This was developed as a volunteer effort to provide a service for TriMet riders. The developer has no affiliation with TriMet.

Streetcar detours!
I just noticed a bug! The streetcar has a "detour" today, but because the Streetcar data is different the software cannot detect it. I have a fix for it now, but I won't update it until there are more things to fix.

Version 2.1 submitted...
Version 2.1 with the new icon and new arrivals page has been submitted to the iTunes store. I think this will be my last update for a while (too many updates can be a bad thing!).
Pictures of the new screens are already in the iTunes store, a little early.

What's with the icon?
[corrected]
I'm no artist, and so coming up with a new icon is actually quite hard for me, harder than new features. I am trying to think of something better... but it is hard.

New version implemented - testing continues!
I have finished implementing the next version, now I'm just testing and testing and testing. This new version has the following new features:
- The long awaited bookmark editing features. e.g. the ability to add and remove stop ids from a bookmark, rename bookmarks, and add a new bookmark from the main screen.
- Configuration options in the Settings panel of the iPhone. Options include putting the bookmarks at the top, the number of recents stops to display, and how the app works with Google Maps.
- Nighttime visibility flasher - a flashing screen that can be used at night so that drivers can see you.
- Improved formatting of detours.
- Improved stability and bug fixes.
