Hi!
This is a call out to all people developing apps for Helsinki-region public transportation:
Right now the three best (and only?) apps for navigating the Helsinki City public transport are "Bus catcher", "Como Llego" and "ZouBa".
* Como Llego has maybe the best (most functional, clutterless) UI for simple "A to B" navigation with public transport.
* ZouBa is the only app with working (and well rounded out) GPS-guided location searching. Also the idea of setting a "home address" is brilliant, as it saves you from typing in the same address every day into the program.
* Bus Catcher has a cool feature of a map, on which you can see trams moving in real-time. A request was thrown out to show buses as well, and even though I don't how much information HSL gives out on buses' locations, I know that at least the 550-line all use constant GPS navigation. Maybe at least some of these lines could be implemented.
So my request is this:
Is there interest between you developers to combine the best bits of all these applications into one über app that has it all? The features of these apps seem enough to be that über app, as each app alone has only one piece of the puzzle.
Any interest in this?
