Realtime-Port-Authority

The purpose of this was to create a real-time tracking of port authority of Pittsburgh, PA, using the realtime API given by Port Authority on top of the Google Maps API.

Features:

  • Buses Run at Realtime
  • shows ETAs of buses to stops and stops to buses
  • shows stop markers above a certain zoom
  • RecyclerView saves via sharedpreferences
  • Uses RxJava + Retrofit to obtain data from Port Authority's API
  • Our (lame) attempt at using MVVM for UI-model interaction

Releases:

API limitations:

  • the buses don't update until after 10+ seconds. Our app only updates every 10 seconds
  • There are only a couple buses offered publicly. We promise to get updates to the new buses as soon as possible!
  • Buses disappear when off-route away from their route lines
