CLUSTER PUBLIC-REAL-TIME · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-03-26

Real-time public transport tracker apps

This cluster comprises mobile apps and a widget that provide real-time public transit arrival/departure information, schedules, trip planning, and alerts, primarily for UK and Australian cities. The five dated entries before the index start appear at irregular intervals, with two in early2009 and one each in2016, 2019, and2025, indicating a sparse, long-running niche rather than a concentrated phenomenon. The traction leaders listed - 'Transport Widgets','TripView Lite', and 'Trip Planner - NSW & Sydne' - each show 0 stars, so no product has emerged with meaningful adoption advantage.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
