HopStop Live! Launches to Help Transit Riders Worldwide Receive, Contribute and Share Real-Time Transit Information


New York, New York (PRWEB) April 08, 2013

HopStop, the number one ranked transit app in iTunes and Google Play with over three million downloads, today launched HopStop Live! TM – the only free, real-time social transit app backed by the power of millions of highly-engaged mobile users across seven countries, 700 transit agencies, 20,000 lines and 750,000 stops. HopStop Live! is the first social navigation platform that allows public transportation riders to contribute, receive and share real-time transit information about the stations, lines and transit systems that matter most to them. The new service will launch exclusively on the iPhone platform with other platforms, including iPad and Google Play, to follow in subsequent releases. The real-time transit service includes every market, across every transit agency, for every line/route that HopStop currently supports.

HopStop Live! is the only all-in-one transit app, providing unparalleled door-to-door walking and transit directions, schedules and officially licensed transit maps and, for the first time, real-time crowd-sourced information from fellow transit riders. The service benefits from an immediate install-base of 2 million monthly active users, not available anywhere else at this scale. The service also fills a large void left by the lack of real-time information currently available from most transit agencies – especially in periods of disruption caused by unforeseen incidents. Real-time, crowd-sourced information will be available both within HopStop’s familiar step-by-step direction search experience and also through a new standalone service with the iPhone app called “Live!”. Through the standalone service “Live!”, users can follow their specific lines and stations of regular use.

“The real-time public transportation space has attracted so much attention over the past twelve months with a countless number of new transit apps all professing to have the answer to real-time,” says Joe Meyer, CEO, HopStop. “The problem with the vast majority of these is that as impressive and headline-grabbing as their goals or claims may be –they all lack the critical ingredient for any crowd-sourced service to be useful –a big enough crowd of endemic users. Over the past nine years, HopStop has grown to be the biggest independent player in the transit routing market, and today’s launch of HopStop Live! will leverage our large user base and strong commitment to product excellence to define the future of real-time public transportation information.”

HopStop Live! also aims to help transit riders create micro-communities around their particular train line, bus route, stations or stops; and share real-time information and tips to make everyone’s trip better, easier and safer. HopStop Live! analyzes real-time user reports on lines, stations and routes across its entire global footprint to give transit riders a real-time snapshot of whether their ride is delayed, by how long, and an indication of the likely reason.

Joe Meyer, CEO, HopStop added, “Our reliable and highly accurate door-to-door transit directions revolutionized the transit industry a few years ago, and now HopStop Live! will do the same by becoming a must-have tool for any commuter. The new service will also help riders create micro-social communities around the specific stations, lines and stops that they care most about, thereby making everyone’s trip better, easier and safer.”

Ellis Eye is proud to announce that laser eye surgeon Dr. William Ellis has been chosen by Bausch and Lomb and San Jose State University College of Business to contribute to a program with Professor Robert Vitale for honors students in the Gary J.

As one of the pioneers of LASIK surgery technology in California, Dr. Ellis will prove to be a valuable model and mentor to the College of Business students as they conduct market research, organize informative events for other San Jose State University students, and create a complete marketing plan specifically for the young adult demographic.

The program, coordinated by EdVenture Partners, affords business students an opportunity to work directly with successful industry professionals, providing valuable experience that must be gained outside a classroom setting. Dr. Ellis and his Northern California LASIK eye surgery practice will serve as a model in their marketing approach planning, and Dr. Ellis will serve as a guide to the honors students in increasing the awareness of laser vision correction as an alternative to wearing glasses and contacts, including understanding how LASIK works as well as the benefits and other details of laser eye surgery. Dr. Ellis, whose participation in this program is largely due to his widespread reputation as a premier California laser technology vision correction surgeon, says, “Marketing new products is the backbone of the American economy. We at Ellis Eye are proud to be chosen by Bausch and Lomb to help educate this group of business students.”

His teamwork with San Jose State University is recognition of his status as a top revolutionary in the field of laser vision correction in the Bay Area and Sacramento LASIK and provides the Northern California students with an opportunity to work directly with a successful medical practitioner with industry experience. Thanks to Dr. Ellis, these students can obtain real world marketing experience, and thousands of patients can experience the freedom from glasses and contacts that LASIK vision correction provides.

Ellis Eye is a laser eye surgery center was among the first in the nation to begin performing laser vision correction in 1995. Dr. Ellis is also noted for his expertise as a laser vision scientist who received a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from UC Berkeley prior to receiving his training in ophthalmic surgery. Ellis Eye is affordable and reliable, and offers skilled vision correction to patients with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. With a number of different types of procedures, Dr. Ellis’ practice provides custom solutions for poor vision, and his LASIK San Francisco practice services a wide area of Northern California with the highest quality laser vision correction.
