It works pretty well, it's not an app just a page, updates bus location every 2 minutes

This may be a stupid question but does translink have some sort of secured wifi connection on the bus lol.. cause i swear when I took the bus today a wifi popped up and said translink but it was locked lol..


Anyways this apps gonna have to be pretty awesome... cause google maps atm is pretty sick lol.. the gps is actually better then a lot of the actual gps devices iv tried.. lol

Translink, I believe?

Edit: Nevermind. Their old app used to be under that name but I can't find it under the iPhone app market either now.

You have to go to the site m.translink.ca it only works for stop numbers

About five years ago a couple of SFU comp students came up with this idea of tracking buses live for a project and asked Translink for permission to proceed. They were denied (by Translink).

Reminds me of the movie Synapse. It's about how corps steal ideas from up and coming tech students.
