Tiramisu

Informazioni in tempo reale per tutti i piloti di transito, compresi quelli con disabilità.

Tiramisu provides customized real-time arrival information. It makes using transit easier for everyone, including commuters with visual or mobility impairments.

The app shows information about transit vehicles arrive at stops near your current location. You can customize what you see two different ways:

1. Use the route filters at the top to see only the routes you might take

2. Mark a stop as a favorite (tap the star) to show all vehicles related to this stop at the top of the list

Tiramisu has several new features to make it easier to use:

- Search: When you want to know arrival times some place different than where you are, you can use the search box at the top of the screen.

- Map: Use the map button in the upper right corner to show a map of nearby transit stops.

- Get off alert: Tiramisu will send you an alert right before you need to get off a transit vehicle. Tap on the route name to see a list of upcoming stops, and select the stop where you plan to disembark.

- Schedule information: Tiramisu will show you the schedule for any route at a specific stop. Tap on the route name and then select the Schedule tab.

Tiramisu is TalkBack compatible.

The application currently supports the Port Authority of Allegheny County (the transit agency for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and New York MTA buses. We will be adding more agencies – stay tuned!

Tiramisu is a research project conducted by the RERC on Accessible Public Transportation (http://www.rercapt.org) at Carnegie Mellon University.
