A note about "trip planning":


This is intended as a lightweight schedules app and not a trip-planner (due to the feature needing very large "graph database" and lots of other development complexities). As such, it's highly probable that it'll never support end-to-end trip planning across separate routes. Sorry about that.


Explanation of the required android permissions:


ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - To determine a valid internet connectionWRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - For eventual download of updated GTFS database data. Currently unusedINTERNET - For any network communications to retrieve schedules and vehicle locations.GET_ACCOUNTS - Needed for Push notification service.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - Plot where you currently areMAPS_RECEIVE - Vehicle tracking maps.READ_GSERVICES - Needed for MapsV2.BILLING - Nothing funky. Used in case you wish to donate with an in-app purchase.
