For those out there who use public transportation, you've at some point experienced the pain of answering the simple question of:
"When's the next bus?"
There are apps out there at the moment that help with this, but they all have one fatal flaw: they make you choose a bus stop first.
This may seem like a trivial detail, but if you're in a town centre with 20 stops nearby, and you're unsure which one your bus calls at, you have to resort to pecking around the map loading up each stops departures. It's less than ideal.
Transporter works differently. It uses your current location to return bus routes, not stops. This means you can open it up and immediately get a list of departures from your location, regardless of the stop it's at. No need to hunt around for the stop. No tapping to select things. Just departures.
