Problem

Ever been preoccupied in a task and forget to check when the next bus is arriving? Hate the hassle of taking out your phone to text GRT, or leaving it to chance?

GGrt is a Mac app that sits in the system menubar and gives you real-time estimates of when the next bus will arrive. It can show all of your frequent routes, and you can even pin a favourite route to show the ETA in the menubar.
