jata – an Android transit app

Description

Jata is an Android application that displays arrival times for buses and trains. It currently works with agencies that use the Clever Devices BusTime system. Specifically:

CTA – Chicago Transit Authority
CCCTA – Central Contra Costa County
PSTA – Pinellas Suncoast Transit Transit Authority
WRTA – Worcester Regional Transit Authority

Version 1.2.2 makes it easier to select routes by adding a route description on the routes screen.

More BusTime agencies can be added; read more below.
