Translink is embracing new technologies and has unlocked the doors to their real time data for developers to use as they like.
Spokesperson Drew Snider says software developers can use the data to create all sorts of apps for mobile devices.
Snider says Translink doesn’t honestly know what kind of apps might be created using the data, “We are very excited to see what might come out of this. We don’t know what is out there but one thing about developers is that they are remarkably creative with what they can do. Watching to see what they come up with is going to be very exciting. And then we have our real time Google Transit coming up which will have some of this data incorporated into that as well.”
Snider says apps might go from the obvious, real time next bus information, to absolutely anything incorporating the data.
