Google Transit and Mobile Apps: A Work in Progress
BC Transit receives many inquiries from customers to implement Google Transit, offer mobile app capability, and real time bus location information.
We realize this would be a tremendous benefit for our passengers and for staff at BC Transit. At present, we are working behind the scenes to gather pertinent information and analyze our data management systems. When this is done, we hope to implement a system that can export service data in GTFS format for Google Transit. This would enable smartphone apps and other third party technologies to easily convey our transit data, including real time transit information to keep passengers informed about delays and better estimated time of arrival of our buses.
BC Transit currently does not have this technology in an electronic format and language that these applications depend upon. BC Transit currently maintains much service related data manually, and an automated data management and generation system would need to be in place before we could embark on projects that rely on large amounts of accurate, real-time information.
Yes, we are working on it and hope to have it available to respond to this ever changing technology.Copyright
