relaunch, third, version

Hello.

Welcome to the third installment — the second version you never go see because it wa too ugly to let it out. Alas, like with every new version new problems will come up and new solutions have been incorporated.  Lets list the good stuff first.

  1. You can sign up and in with twitter, facebook and foursquare.
  2. You can also save places (points of interests like home, office/work, grandmas house and/or mogwanthi's crib).
  3. If you do sign in/up with foursquare you'll be able to see a list of all the places you checked-in with and find a way to be there.
  4. Also, we plan to integrated with a metred-cab provider where routes ain't sufficient, and thus the request for your telephone number comes in handy here so they call you when needed.
  5. A whole lot of backend redevelopment (and rewriting the algorithm)

Now all that is not good

  1. We are still to add more routes (we have sufficient data for Port Elizabeth, that will come after);
  2. Johannesburg's MetroBus still requires a bit more cleaning and pruning of the available data;
  3. Route fares will come in the next installment
  4. So is, the incorporation of Teksis (mini-bus taxis)
  5. I am also trying to minimise the dependacy on Google Maps; with the next installment we will won't use their maps, but might use a few parts of their system in the backend.

Yep. That should do it — please, do advise when something is not right. Also, I would appreacite it, if you could point me in the right direction of where to get more routes, especially for the area that you live and commute it.

Aluta, continua.
