An MBTA App for the iPhone?

First Google Transit, now an iPhone App? The MBTA might have taken to heart Adam Weiss' suggestion about joining the 21st century, made at the lone public workshop on fare hikes. But don't worry, the MBTA isn't developing its own iPhone app: it's letting the public do the work. By making transportation data feeds available, the Executive Office of Transportation is hoping that someone else steps up and fixes its problem. Sounds like government's general approach to everything! In the meantime, there's always BusRyda, which offers trip planning in mobile format. But the question remains: is there an app for concealing incriminating emails? Update: Perhaps developers could use the creation of the NPR News iPhone app as an example, combining news alerts and trip planning in one app.

We've recently added better integration with the Google Transit feature on our iPhone app: to a T.
This app focuses on seeing the nearest stops and how to get there. You can also pick any stop and use Google transit to route you there via the T.
Check it out in the app store or @ http://devwonderland.com
