Do you live in Portland? Do you ride the bus? Need to know when the next bus is going to arrive at your stop? Have an iPhone? Then I have an app for YOU!
Trimet Tracker allows you find any stop and get upcoming arrival times. Now you can also get any detour information Trimet makes available from it’s awesome API, and you can now map your stop with the build in iPhone Google Maps app.
I also fixed a few bugs, although there is one weird thing with the Streetcar stops (they don’t show arrivals for some reason). I sent an e-mail to Trimet to see what’s up.

UPDATE: Heard back from Trimet, here’s what they have to say about the Streetcar times:
Unlike the rest of our system, for Portland Street Car arrivals we retrieve the results from nextbus.com. Since their permission for use is more restrictive than ours we are unable to reproduce their results on our web service.
Bummer. Looks like you folks looking for Streetcar times will have to rely on the call-in service and the reader boards at the stops.
