The University of Michigan has an awesome live bus tracking system for students. This is an iOS implementation of it.
This project operates on the MVVM architecture, allowing abstraction of data-heavy code that would typically live in the view controller.
MBus runs using ReactiveCocoa. ReactiveCocoa allows us to, among other things, manage constantly updating values with an abstracted version of KVO.
Additionally, it is powered by Fare, a networking library built around AFNetworking that interfaces with the University of Michigan's Parking and Transportation Service's API.
MBus is available for free on the App Store.
