I found this web application for the iPhone last week (http://www.sofianehassaine.com/iPhone/BusTracker/). It takes all of its information from the UW ITS Mybus program, however it improves the interface by leaps and bounds.

I have used it a few time and it from what I can tell it works great. Best of all, you can run it on your PC at home or work.
