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:

• Google Play Store

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
