Depending on the country and city where you use BlindSquare, many public transport stops might already be recorded on Foursquare. You can

1. Search for them using the search feature and entering keywords
2. Perform a category search in Travel & Transport. If the distance to your required stop is larger than your currently set radius, you should simulate an address near your stop and perform the category search from this simulated location.

When you have found your stop, you can track it to have BlindSquare announce the direction and distance from time to time. Alternatively, you can also add it to your My Places list and define an Alert Distance. The Alert Distance option will draw a circle around the stop. As soon as you arrive in this circle, BlindSquare will indicate that you are near your stop. To set an alert Distance, double-tap the Edit button in the top right corner of the Place Summary screen. If the Edit button is dimmed, you will first have to activate the Favorite switch button in the center of the Place Summary screen. On the Edit screen, double-tap the Alert Distance switch button. When you activate it, the VoiceOver focus will be placed in a text field where you can enter a value. This will be your alert distance in your default distance unit that you have selected in the BlindSquare settings. If you enter 20, your alert distance will be 20 meters if your default distance unit is meters, or feet if your default distance unit is feet. For public transport stops, we recommend that you enter 200 meters or 660 feet, so you have enough time to get off the vehicle when you arrive.

Even if your stop has not yet been recorded in Foursquare, you will still have a rough idea of your whereabouts, because street intersections will be read as they pass.
