There’s an app for that
Posted on 04. Jan, 2010 by Tony Arranaga in Featured, News
Last year, I wrote a post about an iPhone app for METRO light rail in Phoenix. We can take it for a test drive together here. Already familiar with the product? What do you think?
UPDATE: a review
I had a chance to use the app today for the first time and I loved it! The mobile web application is great for the daily commuter or the rider who is just in town for the weekend. The main page of the application gives the user a menu with four choices: a list of all the stations along the 20 mile starter line, a map and a schedule for each stop, and a button for more information about the system. App users can also see travel times, a list of the park and ride locations with the number of spaces at each lot, and a feature that allows you to map out a trip using both light rail and bus schedules. In a perfect world, I would love to see nearby points of interest at the stops, or maybe even a monocle feature like the Yelp app. Also, it would be nice to see a trip planner like on the Valley Metro website. Overall, this is a great start! The best part about the app – IT’S FREE!

Hmmm… I thought google transit was finally being updated with Phoenix timetables and fares so that you can just use the map built-in to your iphone or android powered device?
