About Libre BusTO

Libre BusTO, or simply BusTO, is your Android app that gives you arrival times for all public transport in Turin and its outskirts. Type in the number of the bus stop and get all the information about scheduled and real arrival times of every 5T/GTT's vehicle stopping there.

Some features:

• Simple interface
• Search by number
• Search by name
• Position suggestions
• Save favorite stops

And not obviously:

• No binary blob files
• No tracking
• No ads
• Fairly light

Do not confuse this app with other proprietary software made by some other people.

How to download BusTO

We actually distribute the app only from F-Droid because the maintainer has not the Play Store.

Just download F-Droid and then search "BusTO", or download the apk from here:

How to hack BusTO

You can clone the BusTO source code repository with:

git clone https://gitpull.it/source/libre-busto.git

How to submit a Patch to BusTO ("pull request")

We hate GitHub so don't create pull requests in GitHub. Open your mind and follow these simple instructions:

1. Do some small changes
2. Install the amazing arcanist package (sudo apt install arcanist)
3. Run arc diff inside the project directory
4. Read the instructions

Done!

Or instead, if you are lazy, or like to get technical:

1. Do some small changes
2. Do some commits
3. Generate a patch with (assuming you're keeping the branches name)

git format-patch -k --stdout origin/master..master > my-patch.diff

4. Upload your file my-patch.diff here: https://gitpull.it/differential/diff/create/

Done!

Or instead, if you are an asshole:

1. Just do your pull request in GitHub, but then don't expect to receive a present from Santa.

In any case: we love small commits with small changes!
