Ottawa chatrooms:

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Service complaints aside, one of the top concerns for anyone who uses OC Transpo is up-to-date service info and departure times. Some great news from OC Transpo today: riders in the Ottawa area can use the upgraded version of the popular Transit app, for free.

Bus Buddy users in shambles???

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Was going to ask, anyone try this and compare with Bus Buddy? Is it any better?

BB works just fine for me re: live arrival estimates (within the usual 'add 2-3 minutes to your expectation' threshold), but curious if anyone's noted any real differences that are improvements on BB.

Transit has a pretty slick UI and uses user data to track busses without GPS! I like it and simped out the $25 to get the pro version before OC did this
