maybe it isn't good to trash your old workplace but appalcart sure is paving the future of public transit. just got on the 9 minute bus after waiting Green
a screenshot of the new transit status app for appalcart. it displays data incorrectly and it runs in compatibility mode because it was designed for a constant screen size, native to like the iphone 4 or something. very cool

AppalCart ruled when I went to App and it was free to the locals.

Lived in the Boone, NC area as both and free transit slaps.

For those of you who are local to Boone and use the AppalCART public transportation, you will want to take the Red Line and your stop will be Parks and Rec.
