New version of PDXBus is out - 2.0
Noticed today that the newest version (2.0) of PDXBus was released! If you’ll recall, I interviewed the creator of PDXBus, Andy Wallace. His iPhone app is tops if you want to access Portland Transit Times on your iPhone. Download it here.
In any case, there are some awesome improvements. From Andy’s site:
- The long awaited bookmark editing features. e.g. the ability to add and remove stop ids from a bookmark, rename bookmarks, and add a new bookmark from the main screen.
- Configuration options in the Settings panel of the iPhone. Options include putting the bookmarks at the top, the number of recents stops to display, and how the app works with Google Maps.
- Nighttime visibility flasher - a flashing screen that can be used at night so that drivers can see you.
- Improved formatting of detours.
- Improved stability and bug fixes.
Have to say, I like the Night Visibility Flashing Light (flashes blue and white) a lot. LOVE the recent stops section as well!
In any case, head to the Appstore and update! It’s well worth it…

Minor correction - it’s Andy Wallace not David!
As for a Windows Mobile version - sorry, although I used to write Windows Mobile applications, I don’t have a Windows mobile based phone.
I made one more update - new icon, bigger fonts for arrival screen and a “shake to reload” option. I’m not planning on changing it again in the short term.
How about a Blackberry version? I looked around and I can’t find any Tri-Met app for BlackBerry. Sigh.
Can we get a winMo version, please? I’ll even pay you for it!
