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 probable that it'll never support end-to-end trip planning across separate routes. Sorry about that.

Explanation of required Android permissions:

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - To determine a valid internet connection.

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Removable Media support for schedules.

ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - Plot where you currently are

MAPS_RECEIVE - Vehicle tracking maps.
