iPhone and Translink Website
I Canada, iPhone gets bus-friendly with Translink Website. You get a constant access to the internet with the Apple iPhone 3G no matter where your go even if you get lost. With iPhone-optimized Translink website, you can find bus schedules and transit maps to you get you home. In Vancouver, Translink is the public transportation system and just recently, it launched a version of its website which made the iPhone much useful and much friendlier. But sad to say, it did not really display all that well on the small screen of an iPhone. If you tilt your iPhone sideways, the transit maps automatically appear in landscape mode and if you switch back to portrait, there goes the schedules and bus route information. But this is a great way of accessing the best way of transportations in Canada; I hope this will also be available worldwide. Future plans call for a location-aware app too, so you can get really relevant bus information. The iPhone-optimized Translink site can be accessed by hitting m.translink.com on your iPhone.
