CATA (Centre Area Transportation Authority) recently released a free iPhone app for tracking their buses in real time. Although I don’t own an iPhone, based off the few times I’ve seen my friends use the app, I’ll say that CATA did an excellent job with it.
The iPhone app wasn’t CATA’s first foray into real-time bus tracking. About a year ago, CATA released a live Google map of their bus routes. While useful when you’re a near a computer, my biggest gripe was that the map wouldn’t load on most (if any) phones.
So one weekend last Spring I built Catafind.
It’s not as flashy or polished as the iPhone app, but it works on virtually any phone with Internet access.
