      <![CDATA[I also have an app to share for taxi driver. I find that useful to navigate yourself.<br>
<br>
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inavigati&hellip;<br>
<br>
iNavigations<br>
<br>
Here is the description<br>
<br>
Aim: Every day after school or work, we might feel tired. We usually take a nap in transportations. However, there is a problem – we often miss the bus stop of our destination. <br>
iNavigate provides an “alarm clock” controlled by user. <br>
Wherever you wish to go, just plug a pin on the map. The app will automatically show the actual distance between your location and your destination (provided that you've connected to the internet). Then input your required distance before it alarms you, for example 200m. <br>
The actual distance will change when you are proceeding the destination, when the number at the right hand corner drops below 200m (in this case, when 200m&gt;199m), the alarm will on immediately. Then you won't miss the bus stop.

      <![CDATA[@10: Exactly. The problem with this app, and also with Avego, is that the corridors on which it would be most effective (like 520) are also the few corridors for which transit really works. The 545 is one of the best buses in Puget Sound. It's fast, frequent, reliable, comfortable, and safe. Why would you need to take anything else?<br />
<br />
In contrast, the trips for which transit doesn't work so well -- like Ballard to Capitol Hill -- probably going to be well-served by this app either. But I'd love to be wrong...

      <![CDATA[Why would you rideshare across 520 when a hundred buses a day do the same thing, day and night? Bus fare is $2.25 to $3, and the toll is almost always more than that.<br />
<br />
Plus, you get to ride with a LOT of weird strangers, not just one.<br />

Yes to both, but that does not mean transit sucks, but I think it might mean you are a big meany meany that is not nice and hates kittens and puppies.
