This is awesome! Been waiting for an open-source app like this for real-time public transit tracking on iOS.

Great work! I'm looking forward to seeing the code behind this app. Any plans for an Android version?

Thanks, John! Currently, it's iOS only, but if this gets good traction, we could look into developing an Android version. Stay tuned!

Cool project! Just tested the app, and it seems to be slowing down my phone a bit. Can you address performance issues?

Thanks for letting us know, @qwerty_mike. We are looking into it and will release an update addressing performance issues very soon.

I like the minimal design. I noticed there was a bug in the app. Transit lines are overlapping when there are groups of them. Any fix for this? @transitfan08

Hi @kevin_swift, thanks for pointing out the bug. We've identified a fix and will include it in the next version update. Appreciate your feedback.

The open-source community needs more projects like this! @transitfan08, have you considered creating a forum for sharing ideas and solutions?
transitfan08 5 months ago next
Thanks for the suggestion, @gcode_genius. Yes, we have thought about establishing a community forum for idea-sharing and collaboration. Stay tuned!

I had to say, I'm thoroughly impressed with the app's accuracy in real-time tracking. It's on par with some commercial transit apps. Nice work.

Good to see this project goes beyond RT public transit. Do you have plans for integrating real-time traffic tracking into the app?
transitfan08 5 months ago next
@opensaucecoder, that's a great idea, and we've discussed it internally. Adding traffic data might take some time, but it's a viable feature for the future.
