Grand River Transit (v. 1.5) Разработано gdmalet |
NOTE: This app uses Google Analytics to track (anonymously) how the app is used, to give guidance on where improvements should be concentrated.
This app displays bus route and stop information, as well as bus times, for the Grand River Transit (GRT) system, in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, which includes the cities of Waterloo, Kitchener, and Cambridge.
You can search for stops or routes by name or number, and display them on Google Maps, as well as quickly see when the next bus will arrive or browse the timetables. Allows you to create a list of favourite stops, making checking for the next bus just a couple of clicks away.
A design goal is not to require a data connection to operate, so the app does not calculate routes (Google Navigation uses the exact same data, so you should use that). All transit data is stored locally, so static timetable and route information is always available (but maps may not load). App is stored on your SD card if you allow it, and data is stored on the SD card if it's available.
May be sluggish on first use or after an upgrade, while the initial database is constructed. Total data size can be up to 30 megs. It's either that or chewing up your online data quota.
Data is provided in GTFS format by http://grt.ca. Google Navigation uses the same source.
See http://baleka.org/gdmalet/android/grtransit for any last minute news, or for the latest test version of the code. This is open source code: everything, warts and all, is available at https://github.com/gdmalet/grtransit.

[2013-06-28] A Google User: Awesom app. They recently updated the schedule to summer hours, so the negative reviews are void. |
|
[2013-06-26] A Google User: Quick and easy Easy to use |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: No update available. Was a reliable app and I would've given it 4 stars before this week - app now says no more busses today and advises user to update for summer schedule, but there is no update showing on the Google Play Store. Please make this update available! |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Loved it. But does not update routes. Please fix. I use this app all the time and rely on it. |
|
[2013-05-07] A Google User: This has been a very useful app, but it stopped working when spring service started. Is there an update coming soon? Thanks for putting this out :) |
|
[2013-04-26] A Google User: Works decent the app depends too much on the user knowing the entire bus system...still has use though |
|
[2013-02-04] A Google User: Always says no buses This app seems like it is exactly what I am looking for with one exception....the routes & stops always say "No more buses today". This happens on both my acer 2 and my nexus 7 tablet. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Add custom ordering for favourite Can you implement favourite stops re-ordering? Doesn't require much and very useful to have more frequent stops near the top. |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Very helpful! (In particular because it works off-line) |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Okay Doesn't work; it doesny show any bus times. It's okay because it lists he bus stop numbers, which I cam text to get times. |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Outdated Google Maps and UI At this point ill just use GMaps and the text service. Its great to see an app like this, but if it is painful to use, what's the point. Employ a software dev from UW that wants some experience, then well see how this app improves :-D |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: Very convenient The ability to have "favourite" stops makes looking up times of oft used routes really easy. One small quirk is that if you open the map or hit "my location" it will say it couldn't find it, but once the map is open it doesn't seem to have a problem locating you. Definitely worth a download and certainly better than having to text GRT. |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Needs improvement. Like a project butter Takes me a while to plan a trip |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: FC a few times when launched force closes a few times every time switching back from multitasking menu or starting from home menu. Jellybean, gnex |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Love it! Always updates quickly to new bus schedules and is such a helpful app when you're on the go. |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: Awesome app. I gotta say, one of the most useful app. Thanks for the developer. I like the map view. |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Comon man. I was almost late for work, I texted the stop, that seems more reliable than this application, 3 stars for now, fix it up man, a lot of people rely on this application. |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Hema After latest update n change of timing in the bus...the app does not show any routes or bus timings...I have tried to uninstall n reinstall the app as well... |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: great except gps location doesnt work |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: great apps looking forward to fall schedule update. thanks |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: Its not working what so ever on my phone it normally does it keeps saying no more buses run today |
|
[2012-08-09] A Google User: Awesome App I use this app on my Asus Transformer and it works flawlessly!!! |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Ugly Horrendous UI. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: Great Works well but could really use a UI upgrade. What can I say, I'm shallow. |
|
[2012-07-13] A Google User: Fail Did not function on ICS. |
|
[2012-05-18] A Google User: Amazing I thought it was going to be crap, but this is perfect! If u use the GRT you must get this |
|
[2012-05-04] A Google User: Works great. The app does everything described in the overview. If you're a GRT user you *want* to have this. |
|
[2012-04-26] A Google User: Developer help! Bragged about it to all my friends until it stopped working on my nexus 2 weeks ago. |
|
[2012-04-24] A Google User: Saved me... Google Maps lost GRT route data on my phone today. This App let me find the route map to verify my route home. Thanks! |
|
[2012-04-24] A Google User: Love it I love this app. But for the last couple days now the schedules do not show anymore!! Please fix! |
|
[2012-04-19] A Google User: Prettygood It'd better if I can look for a schedule for a certain route rather than check for a certain bus stop |
|
[2011-12-15] A Google User: Hire some uw software engs!! Not smooth at allll Pinch and zoom is horrible on this appp!! Fix it Its so messed up |

|
[2011-11-12] A Google User: Not very functional Allows me to create "favourite" locations. But its not clear how to easily find the best route from one favourite to another. Simply having the raw route information is not very helpful. Also, it would be nice if I could group favourites. There are many stops near my house, for example, and I don't want to have to check each of them individually. |
|
[2011-11-03] A Google User: Good, needs work Stops need to be displayed differently. Ones which are a too close should be formatted to be readable, like a list floating over that region. |
