Hi there. I'm Adam Schwabe,
I'm the creator of Rocket Radar.
It's an app for the iPhone that uses Toronto's
open data to figure out when the next streetcar
or bus is going to be arriving
where you are standing.
So you can see I've started up the app here,
and what it's doing right now is it's finding
where I am, it's finding all the nearby routes
and the stops around it, and then telling me
(exactly where I'm standing)
when the next streetcar is coming.
So we've just launched with the bus data
for Rocket Radar and we can see that
we can have streetcars and buses in here now,
and we're here at King and Peter and it's telling me
the next streetcar, actually going the other way,
is coming in three minutes.
