Big improvements to the location search in the trip planner. You can now enter an address or a place/keywords to find your location. A list of matches will be provided from which you can choose. Address matching is improved and will even match misspelled or partial street names (if possible). If you have any "saved" trips, it is recommended to delete them and re-add them to ensure greatest possible accuracy.
Fixed a bug in the config section in the downloading of the new schedule which caused a crash before. Also, if in the rare situation when the latest schedule download fails and the routes/stops are empty, you can re-download the latest schedule (look in the config section for details).
Major new feature - Favourite Stop Grouping. Many have asked to create "groups" of favourite stops. You can now do this by "long press" on the stop on the main page. You can select groups A to D. "-" means no group. You can switch between groups easily on the main page by tapping the appropriate group letter. A stop can be in multiple groups (A-D). Selecting "-" removes it from all other groups.
As always - thanks for using BusBuddy! More improvements coming all the time.

** Note - bug with saving favourite stops has been fixed in 3.3.1 which will be out soon.
Added feature that might help some of you.
Suppose you take a bus that has many different variants - such as the 96. Some of the buses stop earlier along the route forcing you to get off and wait for another one. Or you can wait for the appropriate variant, eg. 96a.
This new feature allows you to designate a stop as a favourite 'Off stop" (i.e. where you get off the bus). Then, when viewing the bus schedule, any trip that includes your favourite "off stop" will be marked in the list with a star.
To set a favourite off-stop, select your bus route, and scroll to the stop. You may have to select a different route variant by using the white arrow keys on the bottom of the route detail screen. Tap on the stop number and choose "set as off-stop".
