What is the Pocket TTC Bus Scheduler?
The Pocket TTC Bus Scheduler is an easy and fast way to view how long you'll be waiting before the next bus shows up at your stop. Is there time to run and grab a coffee? Now you'll know, with only 3 taps of the stylus.How does it work?
Well, first, check out this fully functional simulator. It's a good example of how the application works on your Pocket PC or PDA.You simply choose the appropriate bus route, then the stop, and instantly you know how long it will be until the next bus arrives. No data plan or internet connection required.
What else can it do?
- Works entirely without a data connection
- Each route includes a fully-readable route map
- Information pages count down and always show the latest bus, even if you leave them open.
- Choose to view only a certain bus, instead of all buses -- if you just need to get north of Steeles.
- View the entire schedule for the route in a format that's clear and easy to understand.
