==How PTIPS Works==

PTIPS works by combining, on the one hand, schedule and route path information for buses performing timetabled services (as opposed to, say, charter trips), and on the other hand, live ___location data transmitted by the buses to PTIPS.

Line 21 ⟶ 20:

==Real time apps==

[[Transport for NSW|TfNSWNew South Wales]] worked with several developers in late 2012 to create, and release smartphone applications with access to the realtime bus data provided from PTIPS. Currently, only [[SydneyState BusesTransit Authority|State Transit]] bus operating in Inner Sydney including South Harbour, Inner North, and Northern Beaches and Eastern Suburbs (Bus regions 6 - 9) have data available.

Released in December 2012, several [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] apps went live on their respective App Stores, allowing customers to open the apps, and track where their buses were in realtime, as well as any delays or timetable changes as they occur. In 2013, this realtime data was further expanded to provide live train information from [[Sydney Trains]], [[ComfortDelGro Australia#Hillsbus|Hillsbus]] and [[Busways (New South Wales)|Busways]] Blacktown as well.
