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.

Next release nearly ready - new icon, bigger cleaner fonts
I am now doing final testing of the next version. I have added a new icon and updated the main user interface to have bigger, cleaner fonts. I also added a "shake to refresh" feature for fun!
Thanks - right now I'm not set up to take donations (I don't have a payment system set up) and I feel that taking donations would suddenly make this more like actual work instead of fun!
Currently the app gets real-time data from TriMet. TriMet does provide schedule data in a completely different format, but this would be a lot of work as it is done quite differently. At the moment I don't have time to do this, sorry. :-(
There is another application that will do this- TransitBuddy - but it is a little expensive.

I love your App and use it all the time. Thanks so much! I don't see any requests for support anywhere. Do you accept such?
Ask away! I can't promise that I will be able to answer all questions, but there is no harm in asking. Please use the comments for support questions.
Sorry - I should have been more specific. I have no problem using the App. I meant financial support - $$ to you.

Any plans to make it also store the schedule for the line. That way it could work offline ( for those of us who only have a touch)
