PDX Bus iPhone app

I'm a free open source iPhone app for TriMet arrival times, I don't work for @TriMet, I just use their free data. @bobrew wrote me in his spare time.

FYI - PDX Bus no longer checks this site for support requests - see the app for other ways to get help. Reminder - PDX Bus is just an app, we are not TriMet!

BTW - we are on Bluesky
now too... and Insta.

Working on the next version - adding the new Gateway North station, social media links and bug fixes.

Hey @trimet - is the Hispanic Heritage Bus in service? I'd like to know the vehicle number, to include in my app, but have never seen a picture of it in the wild. (The number is not quite visible on the launch video, unlike the other celebration busses).

I’m on @buymeacoffee. If you like my work, you can buy me a coffee and share your thoughts 🎉☕ https://t.co/iGNxaFW10K

I did an update and as far as I can tell this has been working again for a while.

[PDX Bus iPhone app @pdxbus]

I’m looking into an issue where PDX Bus cannot be installed on latest devices. I have attempted to send the latest version to the store to understand why. Not sure what is going on here…

BTW - thanks to @petdad for the heads up on this.

I’m working on the next version and have a new beta version being reviewed by Apple. Sign up for the beta if you want! You’ll be helping me out if you find a bug. You’ll be helping me out if you don’t! https://t.co/Wl9qU2ps0A

Another options is to use the debug data (last option below). It’s smaller and fixes the issue.

There’s been a change in a file PDX Bus can use to show routes on maps. This change can break the app. Until I can get a release out turn off “Fetch route lines for maps” in settings. Sorry! This is off by default so for most people this won’t have an issue, I think.

@lanejensenpdx Thx for info - those new ones are in Wikipedia so I can add ‘em.

[PDX Bus iPhone app @pdxbus]

@lanejensenpdx The no vehicle info? Interesting.. that must be a new bus!

[TriMet @trimet]

@trimethelp @sundevils80 I’ve never seen a case where the app did not match transit tracker. I also recommend checking the TriMet web site if something looks really odd, as that makes it clear where the problem is. To make this easy the app has a setting - “show tracker link” provides a quick way.

[PDX Bus iPhone app @pdxbus]

I’m working on the iOS 13 dark mode. Fun! https://t.co/rldfD2Wp3F

[PDX Bus iPhone app @pdxbus]

Just checking - I think this version is good enough. No one reported any issues. Anyone got any feedback?

[PDX Bus iPhone app @pdxbus]

I'm testing a few small changes for the next version - beta link is here - https://t.co/Wl9qU2ps0A - iCloud support and some UI changes. After this I'll be working on iOS 13 new features....

[PDX Bus iPhone app @pdxbus]

@ConnorJPSmith @trimetbusfan Yeah, it happens when the data shows a train is arriving in the past. I’ve seen it happen when odd things are happening. I will ask TriMet next time I can grab the data as an example.
