Discussion

(*) is required

This app uses publicly available TFL REST API and attempts to use the information to render approximate position of buses and trains around you in the capital city of UK, London, on a custom rendered map sourced from Open Street Map.

That way you can see roughly how public transport is distributed around the city as well as around your current GPS position as reported by your mobile device.

The app also provides users functionality to simply click on a bus or trains top to see the arrival times to that stop point.

This project is still in development and has a few bugs that are being ironed out.
