I'm going to wait just a bit more [for find functionality, default bus and stop info, integration with maps to show how to get to the nearest stop via walking?? that'd be cool etc.] and then I'll push on all my friends to get it! For me, the price point is still an issue. But like Tim said above, it's GREAT that you're working on it. Keep it up, it'll pan out. :) Joe, I’m excited to see you’re making improvements to the MyBus app!

I'm a grad student at UW who has been working on some transit tools along with Adam (that guy knows everyone it seems). Check them out at http://onebusaway.org/ Specifically, I've gotten a dump of the Metro KC transit database and used it to implement MyBus at the stop-level. This then gets exposed through a variety of services: touch-tone phone, website, and iPhone-optimized web client. The short of it is that I've probably done a lot of the work already that you're about ready to embark on (assuming you just got an email from Stephen Krippner or someone else at Metro). Maybe we can join forces and save each other some effort? Drop me an email if you are interested. Hey Joe,

The front page of your app says 0 downloads, which I'm sure isn't entirely true, which means those guys are just a bunch of whiners. I'm gonna get your app after having read your blog and seeing how much you've done with the app. I'm especially encouraged by the fact you want to improve it. I would encourage you to talk about the future features you hope to include in your app summery. That should take some of the fear out of buying your app. A lot of people like me need this and my only hesitation was that you might lose motivation and quit deveolpment. Keep up the good work man. (and get that google map thing kick'n, that would be awesome). Cheers! Hey Joe, don’t let those reveiwers get you down.
