The MBTA Alert iPhone application is gives you real-time push notifications on T alerts and status from Boston area public transit.
Functions:
- Push notification, up to the minute alerts on trains, buses, ferry's and commuter rail
- Transit map showing you your locations and stops
- Real-time chat with other Boston commuters
The main function of this application is to provide T riders with up to date alerts regarding their commute. This application utilizes Apple Push Notifications to prompt the user when there is an alert on the T that will likely affect them. This alert will be delivered to the user’s device, regardless of whether the application is active. Utilizing the push notification feature, a user can register to receive alerts regarding only those transit lines that affect their daily commute.
A user using this application can also view an accurate scaled map of the T system. The map will show their location using the phone’s built in GPS. This is one of the first applications that will show a user’s location on a customized map (most applications use the build in set of Google maps). In this application, the map is provided by the MBTA itself.
While a user is riding the T or waiting for departure, they can use the chat feature in this application to easily communicate with other T riders. In some cases, the most up to date information about bus and train status comes from riders who are using the T.
The application was developed by Raizlabs, a Boston based iPhone development firm. We welcome your feedback and input. Visit us at Raizlabs.com
