A Service Driven Web Map On Core GIS Web Services

First redesign in many years Most users think to go there first for Transit Information "Front Door of Metro Transit" MetroTransit.org

MetroTransit wants an interactive web map that: Shows transit information o Bus Routes o Bus Stops o Park and Rides o Real-time transit information Works like Google Maps (slippy) Meets style and functional design However I added my own stipulation that it should be built on top of reusable web services

Allows me to Deliver data services over the web that match our business information Build high performance web applications on top of those services Add additional external services that enhance the application Enable force multiplier of third-party developers Does it work on an iPhone?
