The Trip Planner page, showing next three bus arrival times at your specified stop, directions and fare. Like I had mentioned in a previous shot, the analog style times flip into place and count down in real time.
Looking pretty good. One small thing: the menu button (and the corresponding line) looks a little short and hard to tap (less than 44pts tall). Perhaps make it slightly taller or put the menu button on the top bar with the logo...?
@Luke Bornheimer - funny you should mention. We built a proof of concept today and found that out. Heightened it up and another tweak to make it more tap friendly. The navigation is on its own line because its a breadcrumb and will need the space. Thanks for the feedback!
As far as the navigation line goes, how could you streamline the app so that a breadcrumb is not necessary? I (as well as Apple's HIG) prefer not to see breadcrumbs in apps...
@Luke Bornheimer its a responsive website - not a native app. A couple of levels deeper the breadcrumb is quite a nice way to quickly hop back up one level. For instance - the News section you'll be reading an article and can tap back to the latest 10 news articles without having to start from the beginning.

Oh…it's a responsive website…it all makes sense now! I couldn't tell because there was no top or bottom navbar.
In that case, breadcrumb all the way :)
Re: nav icon bar — You're welcome! Glad I could help.
