A real-time tracker has been a top request of riders for years, according to Fitzgerald. The tracker is currently hosted online through Clever Devices, but the Port Authority said access could expand in the future.
“Once we do this completely on our system we will make the information available so it may be tied into Carnegie Mellon’s Tiramisu and other apps that are out there,” said Scott Vetere with the Port Authority. “Private developers can take the information and make their own lookout. It’s very similar to systems that are in Chicago and Washington, D.C. They open their information up and some of them have as many as 15 different apps.”
CMU’s Tiramisu Transit is a crowd-powered transit information system.
