Know when an advisory changes without any battery drain.- Speedy, easy, interface.- Bookmark your favourite stops.- No ads. Ever.Here's what I am working on right now:- Offline bus, trolley, and subway schedules. (Rail is currently supported)- Displaying current location in Map & Track.- Better route shapes in Map & Track.A note about "trip planning":This is intended as a lightweight schedules app and not a trip-planner due to the feature needing very large "graph database" and lots of other development complexities. As such, it's highly probably that it'll never support end-to-end trip planning across routes. Sorry about that.Explanation of the required android permissions:ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - To determines a valid internet connectionWRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - For eventual download of updated GTFS database data. Currently unusedINTERNET - For any network communications to retrieve schedules and vehicle locations.VIBRATE - Push notification vibration on alert change.WAKE_LOCK - Needed for Push notification service.GET_ACCOUNTS - Needed for Push notification service.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - Plot where you currently areMAPS_RECEIVE - Vehicle tracking maps.READ_GSERVICES - Needed for MapsV2.Recent changes:Version 13:- New SEPTA Schedules for February 10th, onwards.- Set Alert preferences in new settings screen.- Ability to select a later date for rail schedules.- Smoother scrolling.- Fixed tiny typeface on lower resolution devices.- SEPTA Instant is out of beta!
