Grand river transit for Android

Grand river transit app for android description: This app displays bus route and stop information as well as bus times (both scheduled and actual expected times) for the grand river transit (grt) system in the region of waterloo ontario canada which includes the cities of waterloo kitchener and cambridge.
You can search for stops or routes by name or number and display them on google maps as well as quickly see when the next bus will arrive or browse the timetables.
Allows you to create a list of favourite stops making checking for the next bus just a couple of clicks away.
A design goal is not to require a data connection to operate so the app does not calculate routes (google navigation uses the exact same data so you should use that).
Real time location updates do require a connection but can be turned off.
All schedule data is stored locally so static timetable and route information is always available (but maps may not load).
App is stored on your sd card if you allow it and data is stored on the sd card if it 39 s available.
May be sluggish on first use or after an upgrade while the initial database is constructed.
Total data size can be up to 30 megs.
It 39 s either that or chewing up your online data quota.
Data is provided in gtfs format at regionofwaterloo.
