Realtime-Port-Authority

=======================

The purpose of this was to create a real-time tracking of port authority

of Pittsburgh, PA, using the realtime API given by [Port Authority](http://truetime.portauthority.org/bustime/home.jsp) on top of

the Google Maps API.

### Features:

- Buses Run at Realtime

- shows ETAs of buses to stops and stops to buses

- shows stop markers above a certain zoom

- RecyclerView saves via sharedpreferences

- Uses RxJava + Retrofit to obtain data from Port Authority's API

- Our (lame) attempt at using MVVM for UI-model interaction

### Releases:

- [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rectangledbmi.com.pittsburghrealtimetracker)

API limitations:

- the buses don't update until after 10+ seconds. Our app only updates 

every 10 seconds

- There are only a couple buses offered publicly. We promise to get updates

to the new buses as soon as possible!

- Buses disappear when off-route away from their route lines
