MassDOT/MBTA Real-Time Challenge Winners
Posted on March 24, 2010
In November, 2009, MassDOT/MBTA and its trial-partner, NextBus, released a feed of real-time bus arrival information for bus routes 39, 111, 114, 116, and 117. In just months, independent, third-party software developers have created tools that serve riders through a myriad of different platforms and formats, including iPhone and Android applications, websites, phone services, text services, and LED signs. To spur further development of rider tools, MassDOT and NextBus held a Real-Time Challenge with two $500 prizes for the best software application and best physical installation. These products provide MBTA bus riders with a real-time answer to the question “Where’s My Bus”.
