I use his Transit app every day. The UI has been designed such that it is touchless! Simply launch the app and it geo-locates the transit routes nearby you and displays the departure times in a glanceable format. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-transit-app/id498151501?mt=8 I hope Sam enters and wins the prize. -- Niraj Comments I sent it over to the fabulous Transit app developer, Sam Vermette.
