Here are some (transit) apps to get you there by Michael, Portland Afoot http://swanislandtma.org/2012/01/05/whos-smarter-you-or-your-phone-here-are-some-transit-apps-to-get-you-there/#comment-432 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:09:30 +0000 http://swanislandtma.org/?p=975#comment-432 Hey, belatedly, thanks for the shout!

My big takeaways from our project:
- Dadnab, the text-message-based trip planner, is way underrated.
- The best iPhone app, PDX Bus, is better than the best Android app, Portland Transit, but they’re both pretty good.
- Never ever buy a cookie-cutter app made by an out-of-towner. The best TriMet apps are all from local developers.
