New OneBusAway for iOS

There's nothing that quite matches this community's interests like open software in the service of transit. In a recent blog post, OneBusAway for Apple iOS maintainer Aaron Brethorst says that a complete rewrite of the software is ready for beta testing.

For most of you, know that beta testing will expose you to some bugs but help make the final product better.

For those of you who spend your lives gluing bits of software together, know that this new version is built on the OBAKit' library, which makes it much easier to build other real-time transit applications. There are certainly lots of rural transit agencies that don't have the resources to deploy things of this nature, and this makes it easier for developers to apply their skills to help those in need.
