@whichbus
Thank you
You may have noticed that WhichBus.org is no longer working. We've made the tough decision to focus on other activities, so don't have plans to fix. We recommend that you check out http://onebusaway.org/ for transit planning, including real-time info. Thank you for an amazing 1.75 years!
WhichBus is now available as apps iPhone and Android!

I [love] it when tech saves me time: I just avoided 20 xtra min waiting for A late bus by rerouting using @whichbus. Nice job!

Seattle Tech Meetup
Last night, we presented to over 250 people at the March Seattle Tech Meetup. It was a fantastic event and great for WhichBus, but not for the reasons you may think.
One of the questions during Q&A was how we've kept the motivation and continued sticking with WhichBus for over a year now. There's tons of reasons, but one of the biggest is seeing the response we get when people experience WhichBus for the first time. Showing WhichBus to crowds at events like last nights provide us with a shot of energy. Just check out some of these tweets, how could we not be excited?
Yeah, @whichbus I'm sold. Beautiful demo. #StMeetup
I already love @whichbus. #stmeetup
Simple, beautiful public transportation app? Whaat??? @whichbus #STMeetup goodbye onebusaway
#STMeetup I may need to get back to use bus again! Lolz
Just downloaded @WhichBus App See ya OneBusAway wouldn't wanna be ya! To the future where I can actually find a bus! Amen! #STMeetup
If you missed the event, you can check out the slides:
There's a great post on the visualizing Seattle area transit. In the graphic show here, each dot is one commuter and how they get around. See more on the idvsolutions UX blog.
[WhichBus is] a worthy successor to One Bus Away.

It's here
We're happy to announce that WhichBus has launched! The site is now public so you and everyone else can start using WhichBus right now by visiting http://whichbus.org on any modern browser, including phones and tablets.
A couple of things that make WhichBus special:
Built-in trip planning. Don't know what bus to take in King County? No problem, just type where you're going, such as Pike Place Market, an address, or intersection and WhichBus will tell you.
Real-time information. We'll tell you exactly when the bus is coming, early or late.
More than just buses. WhichBus also pulls in routing information and time tables for Link Light Rail and Washington State Ferries.
The past year has been incredible. We've gone from a Startup Weekend project in January 2012, to an audience with Mayor McGinn in July, to winning multiple awards at the EvergreenApps competition in October. A huge thank you to all the beta testers and everyone else who helped us get here, because we couldn't have done it without you. We may have launched, but we're not done, so please continue to give us your feedback.
WhichBus has officially launched! Now live on any modern browser from http://whichbus.org!
Prototype of the WhichBus iPhone app
On October 1st, WhichBus took 3 awards (2nd Place Overall, People's Choice, and Best Multi-jurisdictional App) at the EvergreenApps.org, a state-wide app contest. We are humbled to have done so well and thank you to everyone who voted for us in the People's Choice contest!
Last Friday we had the opportunity (and honor!) to meet with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn as a prize for winning Startup Weekend Gov. We spent over an hour discussing WhichBus, startups, and open data / government.
Added some UI - things are coming together!

Startup Weekend Gov Recap
This past weekend we participated in the Startup Weekend Government event held at City Hall. We approached the event with an expanded team and some ambitious ideas. After an intense weekend, we were able to work on a few new features for WhichBus, including:
Improved route directions, now with Link Light Rail and crime ratings for each stop.
Route pages with comments, to benefit both riders and the Department of Transportation.
Favorites for quick access to frequent routes and taxi numbers should you not wish to wait.
One of the things that's really important to us is accessibility. Thanks to some help from the Twilio team, we were able to bring route planning and bus status to feature phones. To give it a try, just text "starting location" - "ending address" to 206-745-6287. For example, texting "seattle center - pioneer square" returns the following result: "Go to 5TH AVE N & Broad ST< take the 3 bus to JAMES ST & 3RD AVE. Arrives in 5m."
We still have a ways to go before we're ready to officially open the doors, so be sure to sign up at http://whichb.us to be among the first to use the site when we launch.
Last, but certainly not least, congratulations to all the other teams and thank you to all the volunteers! We're so inspired by all the cool apps and sites and can't wait to use them. If you'd like to read more on the event, checkout these articles by GeekWire and the Mayor's blog.
