TransitQ

TransitQ 1.2.0 is out!

The big new thing is trip follow mode.  Trip follow mode shows you all of the scheduled times and stop locations for a particular bus/train trip.  So, for example, if you’re getting on the MAX Red Line at the airport at 11:24pm (like I am right now) and you’re wondering when it arrives back to Pioneer Square, this screen will show you that. You can get to this screen by viewing the schedule for a specific stop, and then clicking on one of the arrivals.  To get back, simply click on one of the stop times listed in the trip schedule.

I’ve already found this feature to be immensely helpful on so many occasions, so much that I decided to go ahead and release this as a “beta” now so that it can make it into your hands early.    There are many enhancements coming to this screen, though, (hence the blank strip at the bottom of the screen).  Stay tuned!

BTW:  The schedule data format for v1.2.0 is the same as v1.1.1, so no schedule data upgrade is needed; and you can always go back to v1.1.1 if you have a problem.

Enjoy!

Follow mode!

TransitQ 1.1 is out!  Get it while it’s hot (and be sure to pick up new schedule data when you’re there — it’s required!)

Here’s what’s new:

• [0005] Stop Lists!  You can browse stops by line, or create your own lists of favorite stops.
• [0008] You can now browse a stop’s schedule for days other than today
• [0037] You can now search by TriMet StopID by entering the StopID into the “Look Up:” box.
• [0004] When viewing a stop’s schedule, an up/down arrow is shown to indicate the first/last stop of the bus trip.
• [0039] Added low-resolution 1-bit icons for non-color OS 4 devices.
• [0038] Renamed the TriMet transit data database name from “TriMet” to “TQ_TriMet.trnx”.  This allows for TransitQ to coexist with other databases named “TriMet” (namely the old Second Kiss TriMet schedule application)

Enjoy!

Well, I finally got around to fixing the last few little things that kept me from releasing this publicly.  This is a little odd, because I’ve actually been using this on my Centro and T|X for quite some time now.

Enjoy!
