Description
SeattleBus provides real-time arrival and departure times for bus stops across the greater Seattle Metro area. SeattleBus allows you to keep favorite stops for quick access, search through all of Seattle Metro's tracked bus stops, and can even help you locate the nearest stop using iPhone OS Core Location.
If you ride Seattle Metro transit on a regular basis, this application is for you. In short, SeattleBus is intended to answer the question: "Where is the *!&^!*# bus?"
What's New in Version 1.2.0
New in version 1.2.0:
* Recreated the parser to work with the King County provided data source for real-time transit data (from http://mybus.org/metrokc/avl.jsp to http://trackerloc.kingcounty.gov/avl.jsp.
New in version 1.1.1:
* Fixed an upgrade bug that would randomize your favorites when you upgraded from version 1.0 to 1.1. If you're upgrading to 1.1.1 from 1.0, this will work correctly. If you've already moved to 1.1, then it won't fix the favorites, but also won't mess them up again.
New in version 1.1:
* The individual bus stop pages will have a refresh button to get updated information about that stop. (previously, you had to navigate back to a list view and then to the stop again)
* The color coding of the wait times has been simplified and nailed down. Green means there’s an expectation that the bus is on schedule, and red means it’s delayed.
* Express routes are now shown! An "X" is now appended to the route number for express routes.
* We added nearly 100 stops that had been missing from an earlier version of the application, and the associated code to handle seamless database updates (for this and any future updates).
* I fixed a number of time related bugs that specifically occur around midnight and the not-quite-correct output that the web service provides. Seattle Bus will now function correctly in different time zones, and should handle most of the cases when looking up stops around midnight.
Known issues: There are still some issues with calculating wait times when you're looking at runs that are running late just after midnight.

Another piece of garbage in the Seattle Bus collection...
Wow, this was a supreme waste of $4.99 + tax! I found it to be incredibly inaccurate and a real pain in the butt to use. Compared to the online (and free) metro trip planner, it was a complete joke. Take my word for it...do not support poor applications like this! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE!
Useless
I bought this app because I wad frustrated with google maps only giving me one option when I was within walking distance of multiple busses. I thought this app would have everything! Turns out it's super confusing, has no maps, cannot locate you and is just generally horrible. Do not download this no matter how tempting it seems to have a metro specific app. It is not at all helpful and selling it for $5 is a crime.
Worse app ever
This app has NEVER been right. And never more wrong than yesterday when I waited 2 hours for a bus that never came. The app said there were 3 due in 20 minutes. Ridiculous. I need to figure out how to get my money back.
