The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky continues to go high-tech.
In its latest technological advancement, TANK has turned its myTANK
electronic notification service into an app for "i" devices such as
iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches. The app, now available on iTunes, will
allow riders to have on-demand, location-aware information including bus

much of the research and development to create the application.

e-mail and mobile phone alerts. The new app takes that a step further
and provides information on demand. The app uses mobile technologies,
such as maps, GPS location and alert notifications.
