There's an app for that . . .

We've been working on an 'app' for the LANtaBus real-time schedule information for some time now and we are sure our customers have been impatient with us.  During these 'austere' times, we searched far and wide for the most economical way to have these constructed.  We were surprised that our inquiries with the local academic community and those devoted to the advancement of technology were not successful in terms of finding a 'volunteer' to do the programming.  Maybe transit is not as 'cool' locally as it is in other communities where students did such apps just because they knew how.

But we did find a company that we've worked now for well over a decade: Connecting People, Inc., managed by the skilled and talented Dan Uff.  Dan helped us way back in the early 'net days when LANta had a 'Bulletin Board' online and later when we developed our first web site and now as we enter the 21st Century of technology.

So, the good news, they are done and ready for download.  And better news: they are free!!  In no particular order:

Android
iPhone& iPod Touch
iPad

The Android app will work with 'Droid telephones and tablets.  The iPhone/iPod/iPad apps will work with Microsoft based systems.  Use these to explore the system and it's potential to take you where you want to go when you want to go.  Use these to plan your trip and check your bus stop.  Finally, use these when you get to your bus stop to pinpoint precise information as to when the next bus is REALLY going to arrive based on GPS triangulation.

Hot stuff huh?  Did we say it was free?  Well, it is.
