This is only semi-related, but if anyone here has an interest in making a meaningful difference in improving their fellow Seattleites' mass transit experiences, I'm always looking for more people to pitch in on OneBusAway for iOS: https://github.com/onebusaway/onebusaway-iphone

Well thought out PRs for any bug or feature you care about are always welcome.

Also feel free to email me at aaron@brethorsting.com if you'd like to discuss more details.

Oh wow I didn't realize this was an entirely volunteer project - I thought it was from the various transit authorities for the Puget Sound.

This was an incredible app when I lived in the Seattle-Tacoma area, and I wish more places had it or at least a similar app.

I lack the skill to contribute code-wise, but are finacial donations beneficial? Is the best means of donation through the UoW website as listed or do you have alternate donation channels? (i.e., does the UoW donation page slice off some of the donation for the University or is it earmarked in whole for the project?)

Financial donations are definitely welcome. It can be a bit of a hassle to find the money for domain registration, even.

There's a Donate table item on the Info tab of the iOS app you can tap. Thank you!

Here's a plug for OneBusAway for Pebble: https://github.com/kmwoley/onebusaway-pebbletime

I didn't write this, but one of my co-workers did. (And not a dev!)

That's awesome! Has he emailed the main OBA developers mailing list about it? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/onebusaway-developer...

I'm not an iOS dev but as a Seattleite I really appreciate your work - thanks!
