A new iPhone app for tracking buses in D.C. is now available, making it easier for residents to rely on transportation options beyond Metro and cabs.

Called BusTrackDC, the new app for tracking buses in D.C. launched earlier this month in an effort to replace the now-defunct NextBus app that so many residents relied heavily on to plan their bus travels around the city.
