HRT disabled the FTP feed on March 10, 2020. It will not be coming back. HRT will publish a GTFS realtime feed soon. This app has been sunset.
The HRT Bus Finder is the front end / proof-of-concept to the hrt-bus-api. The live demo can be found here: http://hrtb.us.
The front end is developed using the following:
- BackboneJS
- also requires jQuery and UnderscoreJS
- Twitter Bootstrap
- and the Google Maps Api
The hrt-bus-api is a mash-up of two sources provided by Hampton Roads Transport (HRT). Their bus scheduling information, which is published to General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) and their in-transit routing information which is provided via an alternate source. These two sets of data are pulled into the API and processed, allowing en-route bus tracking.
The hrt-bus-finder runs entirely in the browser. As such, development requires nothing more than an Internet connection and the ability to clone this repository. All dependencies have been included.
Any bug reporting or feature requests should be done through the issues tracker in Github.
