Translink iPhone site launches
Translink and my friends at Handi Mobility have taken the wraps off of a new iPhone-optimized Translink site. Check it out if you have an iPhone (or other mobile WebKit browser) and use transit in Vancouver. It looks good and feels good! Now all I need is the Maps application on the iPhone to give me trip plans, and my life will be complete.1
- There is a mobile Google Transit website, but it doesn’t work in Vancouver. It “appears to be outside our current coverage area”, even though the desktop version works fine. Grr. [↩]

Thanks for the tip Tom! Doing that lets you get desktop directions that don’t redirect to the Maps app or to the non-working Mobile site. The map doesn’t load, but the directions are usable.

Looks like we’ve got to scrape Google now : )

Maybe they have an API for that?
