The news is that they now have buses available, K-Fai, as I think my email said. "It" was a little confusing, but it was meant to refer to bus integration:"In the summer (I think) of '09 back Septa integrated with Google Transit for subways and regional rail and promised that they'd have buses integrated 'later this year.' Well, even though they had a press release announcing that it was finished 12/1 and I saw some signs of integration (but not much worked), it is up now. This is awesome and should make Septa life (especially for anyone with a smartphone) much, much easier. Way to go, Septa: we're getting there*.*There=Where Pittsburgh was 2 years ago."And @jrefano: There're a lot of things that iSepta is not. One of them: useful to people who don't live in the suburbs (Manayunk and the NE count). I was the original tipster on this (I think), and this post isn’t entirely accurate.

They're also offering real-time information online (on your smartphone) that will show the departure time and status of the next four RR trains.
