#OpenTripPlanner for Android

This project is an open-source Android client for the OpenTripPlanner project. It is designed to interface with any OpenTripPlanner server via the OTP RESTful API, implemented in the OTP opentripplanner-api-webapp project.

A list of public OTP servers is kept in the OTP Server Directory (a Google Docs spreadsheet), and all mobile clients will be able to plan trips automatically using whichever server is appropriate for their current location. Please contact Sean Barbeau at barbeau@cutr dot usf.edu if you'd like to add your OTP server to the directory.
