That would be great.
For now, the next bus stop are downloaded from the STM website when the user
needs them.
We can cache this data but I'm not sure that will fix the problem of Internet
connectivity.
We are working in providing a way to have transit information offline
(basically all the data you will find on this page for example:
http://www2.stm.info/taz/horaire.php?l=10&d=S&t=54321).
But that's not very simple to do since the STM website is far from easy to read.
From my point of view, most of the users have a 3G connection and loading data
from the STM website doesn't cost so much.
Still, I understand that when users are in the subway for example, they don't
get 3G most of the time.
I can't tell when we will provide a solution for that, sorry.
If you want to help write this caching function, your help is welcome.

The next bus stop passages are kept in cache for 3 minutes since v1.5.7 (r403)
The next step would be to add the entire offline schedule => issue #30
