Description:
busGuide2 is a Windows Mobile application to get the bus arrival timing of SBS busses at different bus stops in Singapore.
This is an upgrade to the previous busGuide application and has an improved UI. SMRT supported bus stops are now highlighted and bus numbers are color coded to differentiate SMRT and SBS busses.
This app has been tested successfully on the HTC HD2 device, WM 5.0, WM 6.0 & WM 6.5 emulators, and a really old Ipaq 2210 running a Pocket PC 2003 OS.
Upon installation, go to settings, click on the "Update DB" button to update the bus database on your device. This is required only once, so that the SMRT & SBS busses can be color coded.
Installation:
Copy the cab file to your device and double click it to install.
Instructions:
If the bus stop you are getting the timing for is missing a particular bus service:
- Create a blank text file "busdata.txt".
- Edit the text file with the format <<bus stop id>>:<<space delimited bus number>>.
- Enter each bus stop id on a new line.
- Example.
- Copy this text file to the busGuide2 installation folder.
- When you query the bus stop, the bus number that you added in the text file should appear now.
