Bus Type Transit Tracker (bt3)
bt3 is an app that allows users to view bus routes and track live bus locations using real-time transit data.
The system follows a Client–Server architecture with layered components. The frontend communicates with a backend API that processes live bus data from external transit services. Caching and persistent storage are used to improve performance and reliability. Detailed architectural diagrams and justifications can be found in docs/architecture.md.

You will also need to obtain your own Mapbox and Translink API keys.
Once you have your API keys, make copy keys.sample.py to keys.py and fill in the blanks with your keys.
Do not expose this server to the internet. As of now, the API keys imported are exposed in the rendered webpage source and will be addressed later.
