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

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.

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.
