NextBus updated

NextBus tells you when all the buses at a bus stop are slated to arrive. This update delivers new functionality.
  • You can choose to update the timing for just one service on the page or refresh the whole page to get an update on all the services.
  • Also provides times for SMRT buses from the 213 bus stops that PublicTransport@SG supports. 
Interestingly, iPhone users make up 18.34 percent of total users of NextBus, just behind the leader, Internet Explorer on Windows at 34.85 percent. 

A great app made better. Thanks Deepak!

Read Deepak’s detailed description of the update here or click here for NextBus.

See also BuzzCity’s SBSTransit, a well made iPhone web to access mobile Iris.

(Update: According to Deepak, the proportion of iPhone users of NextBus is probably "way higher" than 18.34 percent because many iPhone users use NextBus through Jon Petersen's excellent iSinGeo web app, and their numbers are not captured.)

Actually, the number of iPhone users is probably way more than 18% since my data doesn't include the folks who use NextBus via isingeo.com
