Public Transport r.485
· v1.1.8
About
This app sends requests to Google in order to find public transport routes.
__
The idea:
- You are at home and want to know when the next bus departs to your work (or vice-versa). Or you are somewhere else and you want to go home. Use this app and you will get the answer in two clicks, without taking your phone from your pocket.
- During the trip, you can quickly check how far you are from the point where you have to step out and also the distance and direction to your final destination.
- Of course, your phone and watch should be paired via Bluetooth and connected to the Internet in order to request a route. After that, you can just follow the directions offline.

Once a route is found, tap the screen (if you have a touch screen device) or use the UP/DOWN keys to change the views. The available views are:
A.1) Time and headsign - this is what you should check before you get on the bus/tram/train
A.2) Departure (name of the station, distance and direction) - this is what you should check when you are going to the station to step in
A.3) Arrival (name of the station, distance and direction) - this is what you should check when you are on the bus/tram/train waiting for the stop to step out
B.1) Final destination (distance and direction) - this is what you should check after you step out and walk until the end destination
B.2) Initial ponts (distance and direction) - just to be sure that you are departing from where you meant to (and not using a previously requested route).
There may exist multiple "A" screens if you need to change to another bus/tram/train.

Route recommendations may be incomplete and/or inaccurate, and may contain sections of private land and/or sections of terrain that could be challenging or hazardous. Always use your best judgement about the safety of the road and trail conditions and follow traffic and property.
