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
