Dublin Bus Route Planner iPhone app Launched
27 July 2011
biznet IIS and Dublin Bus have been working together to replicate the current online journey planner available on the website into an iphone app.
Last week saw the launch of the new Route
Planner iphone app, aimed at helping you to plan journeys in and around Dublin.
If you're trying to negotiate your way around the city, the app provides you with the ability to search for stops or addresses quickly and easily, whilst providing you with the directions and bus numbers to set you on your way.
The map function visualises your journey, and up-to-date information ensures that you'll have timetables and news whilst on the move. It is a 'must have' for anyone travelling through Dublin Bus' network area.
Version 1 of the app contains the following features:
- Ability to search for stops and / or addresses with the Dublin Bus route planner facility
- Ability to plan your journey
- A search interface with Map function
- Add stop info to your favourites
- Up to date timetable info
- Latest news and updates from Dublin Bus
The production of the app follows biznet's recent redesign of the Dublin Bus website, and the development of an integrated Route Planning
application which incorporates data from Dublin Bus, Luas (tram) and Dart (rail) services, for which biznet won an Irish ICT Excellence award.
biznet have been working with Dublin Bus for nearly four years and have completely overhauled the public transportation's web presence.
Version 2 of the app is currently in development, and with a release date of Autumn 2011, it will feature real time bus information.
