About this app

This app shows locations and predicts bus times in Toronto using GPS info from the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).
Please email [e-mail] if you have any problem, and please report a crash if you see one. Twitter feed for bug updates: @bostonbusmap

Basic usage:
- choose a mode by clicking the button on the upper right corner. You can see all vehicles at once, vehicles for a single route, bus predictions for a single route, or only bus predictions on favorited stops
- choose a route by clicking the menu button and clicking "Routes". You can also type in the route in the search textbox
- click on a stop to show the next few buses that are driving by.
- click 'more info' to show more predictions for that stop
- click 'report problem' to report a problem with the predictions
- click the star in the popup (see screenshot) to mark a stop as a favorite
- choose a favorite stop by pressing the menu button and clicking "Favorite stops"
- center on your current location by clicking the menu button and choosing "My Location". The speed and accuracy of location information depends on your phone location settings. You can tweak those in Home -> Settings -> Location & Security
- draw the path along a route by clicking the menu button, going to Settings and selecting "Show route path"
- this app should work for all touchscreen devices that are Android 1.5 and up (which means pretty much all Android phones and tablets). Please let me know if something doesn't work

Ratings and reviews

This app is simply the best and most accurate. Not only can we get stop predictions, we can track the buses progress via their GPS transponders in real time. Often, I find myself opening the app just to watch the little busses hop across the map. 😂 I PM'd the author asking about fee's because for how useful this is to me, I felt like I should be paying for it. But he declined any payment and said he does it for fun and would like to keep it that way. ❤ If he ever went with a payment option or donation one, I'd be totally onboard with that. Our own TTC's version of the app doesn't even marginally do what this one can do. Sure the graphics are simple, but it works and that is all that matters. 100+ stars if I could.

This app is awesome! The best app for looking up ttc buses. I like being able to know the bus number. It is also very accurate. Also very helpful knowing exactly where the bus is.

great functionality. even though graphics may be below par, the usefulness is on par with ttcwatch on apple devices.
