WhereTo? - Bus/Train Timetable application for your phone!

    Hey,

    I've created a bus/train timetable application for myself and my friends and decided to expand on it so that one can easily be made for any area in Dublin (for now!).

    I call it Where To? as that's the first thing it asks you when you run it. It gives you the next few times so that you don't have to search through lists and it's free to use once you have the application downloaded so better than bus texts! ;)

    I designed this for ease of use so you can find out the next departure times for a particular service with only 2 clicks.

    As well as being useful for checking the next departures, you can set a day of the week and time to plan ahead, and set the number of times that are displayed. Try it out and let me know what you think!

    Have a look at the website I threw together for it: WhereTo?

    Instructions are there for downloading the current editions or use the contact form if you'd like to ask for another one to be made.

    Cheers,
    DM

    the maynooth one doesn't load - "Error this edition is currently not available" why have it listed if it's not available?

    I like the idea.
    If you really want the number of routes expanded quickly you should open up the source code. I'd recommend GitHub and let people add routes themselves. Reduces the burden on yourself to keep it all up to date.

    There's not much trouble compiling the different editions and it's not necessary to release the source code just to create a new one.

    BTW, I've just added Santry.

    Nice idea to get an app like this on a mobile.
    I've used http://justroutes.com/ a bit in the past and found that extremely useful.

    I just mean that others would be willing to add routes/editions.
