Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) iPhone App: For Toronto transit users this is a great little App. The TTC Trip Planner iPhone App is a program that not only utilizes the schedules of the transportation system to calculate the time of each trip but it also suggests the quickest way to reach the destination. After releasing the Trip Planner at the beginning of the year, the Toronto Transit Commission asked its users who tested the service to send suggestions for alternative routes. The result was 3400 tips and recommendations, which are now in the full version of the service launched by the Toronto Transit Commission.
The full version of Internet Trip Planner, found on www.ttc.ca, now offers three travel options, as well as destination walking times. The program also incorporates streetcar breakpoints and next vehicle arrival times. The list of numbers of points can be found on the TTC website as well as the mobile version. The numbers of bus stops will be added in early 2011. Toronto Transit Commission customers will have the option to filter the types of alerts they receive by email through selecting lines of subway, bus, streetcar, and the specific routes according to their needs, or continue to receive all alerts.
