Ride Ottawa

About Ride Ottawa Android App

Ride Ottawa is a transit app aimed at regular OCTranspo travellers such as commuters who want fast access to the information they need.

Combine data from multiple stops and routes in a single listing, allowing you to choose easily between multiple route options.

Set alarms warning you of bus times, automatically updated with GPS data from the buses.

Filter out trips that do not reach your destination, to ensure that you see only the information you want.

Permissions requested:
- Location to list nearby stops. Will work without this permission; you can change the sort order in settings to something not based on location.
- Network connection info to avoid downloading transit data over mobile data.
- Full network access to query the OCTranspo live feed of bus times.
- Run at startup and prevent device from sleeping to ensure timely alarms (device will be woken a few minutes before your scheduled alarm to verify the live timing data for your bus).
- Vibration for alarms.
