Timisoara
Public
Transport
Scrapes public transport information from the official transport
authority web site (times, stations, connections) and displays it
conveniently on your device.
This application is about utility, it has an spartan interface,
no bells. no whistles, no google maps or GPS required. It is
designed after my own requirements:
- show me vehicle arrival times
- show me my connections at the next station
Required permissions:
- internet access - the time are obtained from http://www.ratt.ro/txt
- sd-card write - a cache with transport line and station information
is saved on the external storage.
