The Public Transit Trip Planner mobile application is designed to alleviate the hassle of using the Asheville Regional Public Transit system. Users can use predefined tourist oriented routes or create their own custom routes. Users also have the ability to change the length of time they wish to stay at each point of interest as long as it stays within reasonable bounds. The application is built using Adobe’s Phonegap framework, which allows the application to be created using javascript, HTML5, and CSS3 and then deployed to multiple mobile platforms. Phonegap allows access to a variety of native features that mobile web applications do not have, such as geolocation, notifications, and device storage.
