FINALLY! Open data from the region of Waterloo and the GRT!

I can finally create the Android App that I wanted to create from CS446!

Region of Waterloo Open Data Catalog

General Transit Feed Specification Reference

Made a quick proof of concept of the application:

The user now can check the next bus without wasting text messages, as well as can do it without an internet connection.

The app can also map out the bus route, and the user can know where exactly to get off, etc.

However, one thing that would be great, is if GRT can release live data, thus the riders could track exactly where the bus is, and would have a more realizable schedule than ever. Also this could have the potential to replace the GRT Trip Planner.
