A carefully designed client for Singapore's transit system
Similar to MyTransport, but a lot faster and 100 times smaller to download.
Download: App Store
The project started as Tsugi (Buses on the App Store), an app that aimed to complement the public transit experience in Singapore. At the time the project was first developed, there were no good public transit companion apps on the App Store for Singapore's transit system (the official MyTransport app is still a really poor experience, despite their inspired UI refresh). While there are some decent options out there now developed by other developers, I still believe in the Tsugi experience.
The codebase for the old Tsugi project was lost after an incident with macOS Big Sur, leading to this rewrite in SwiftUI. The rewrite also aims to improve how API calls and persistent data are handled, by using Core Data and new async/await features. New features will also be added, such as the viewing of bus service routes, service alerts, and more robust notifications and Siri shortcuts.
Buses 2 will be built on the iOS 16 API, and will support iOS 16.2 and above.

If you use Xcode Cloud, you can add your LTA DataMall account key to your environment variables with the key APIKEY_LTADATAMALL.
If not, duplicate and rename APIKeys-Sample.plist to APIKeys.plist, then insert your LTA DataMall account key into the LTA key.
Once you have added your LTA DataMall account key, it is only a matter of opening the Buses2.xcodeproj Xcode project, and building.
