About London TFL Tracker
This app uses publicly available TFL REST API and attempts to use the information to render approximate position of buses and trains around you in the capital city of UK, London, on a custom rendered map sourced from Open Street Map.
That way you can see roughly how public transport is distributed around the city as well as around your current GPS position as reported by your mobile device.
The app also provides users functionality to simply click on a bus or trains top to see the arrival times to that stop point.
This project is still in development and has a few bugs that are being ironed out.

User reviews
Superb app, finally an Android real time tube tracker with train numbers, very necessary in my job and as I'm not an apple person I've been lagging behind my colleagues. Well done:)
It works fine for me and getting better
Excellent, live maps & departure boards for tube and bus by touching the station.
Amazing app. The development is clear and extremely customizable. If you're interested in real time info on trains and underground, this is your app.
