Webpage that displays a list of routes using the AngularJS framework. I'm having problems getting the AJAX call to deliver data to the UI. The data in question is currently hardcoded in the "routeList" variable.

controller.js

angular.module('index', ['data'])
.controller('IndexController', ['routeList', function (routeList) {
    //* 
    this.routeList = routeList.sort(routeList.getAjaxData());
    /*/
    this.get = function () {
        //routeList.getAjaxData();
        this.routeList = routeList.getAjaxData();
        console.log(JSON.stringify(this.routeList)); //proves we are getting data, currently note getting data
        //this.routeList = [{ "routeOffsetID": "1", "routeAbbr": "1", "name": "Pontiac - Dhu Varren" }, { "routeOffsetID": "2", "routeAbbr": "10", "name": "Ypsilanti - Northeast" }, { "routeOffsetID": "3", "routeAbbr": "11", "name": "Ypsilanti - South" }, { "routeOffsetID": "36", "routeAbbr": "12A", "name": "Miller - Liberty" }, { "routeOffsetID": "37", "routeAbbr": "12B", "name": "Liberty - Miller" }, { "routeOffsetID": "5", "routeAbbr": "13", "name": "Newport" }, { "routeOffsetID": "30", "routeAbbr": "14", "name": "Geddes - E Stadium" }, { "routeOffsetID": "6", "routeAbbr": "15", "name": "Scio Church - W Stadium" }, { "routeOffsetID": "7", "routeAbbr": "16", "name": "Ann Arbor - Saline Rd" }, { "routeOffsetID": "8", "routeAbbr": "17", "name": "Amtrak - Depot" }, { "routeOffsetID": "9", "routeAbbr": "18", "name": "Miller - University" }, { "routeOffsetID": "10", "routeAbbr": "1U", "name": "Pontiac - University" }, { "routeOffsetID": "11", "routeAbbr": "2", "name": "Plymouth" }, { "routeOffsetID": "4", "routeAbbr": "20", "name": "Ypsilanti Grove - Ecorse" }, { "routeOffsetID": "13", "routeAbbr": "22", "name": "North-South Connector" }, { "routeOffsetID": "12", "routeAbbr": "2C", "name": "Plymouth Glazier South" }, { "routeOffsetID": "14", "routeAbbr": "3", "name": "Huron River" }, { "routeOffsetID": "15", "routeAbbr": "33", "name": "College of Business Shuttle" }, { "routeOffsetID": "16", "routeAbbr": "351", "name": "AF Briarwood to SU" }, { "routeOffsetID": "17", "routeAbbr": "352", "name": "AF Briarwood to Main" }, { "routeOffsetID": "18", "routeAbbr": "353", "name": "AF Pioneer to SU" }, { "routeOffsetID": "19", "routeAbbr": "354", "name": "AF Pioneer to Main" }, { "routeOffsetID": "20", "routeAbbr": "36", "name": "Wolverine Tower Shuttle" }, { "routeOffsetID": "21", "routeAbbr": "39", "name": "AOS TEST ROUTE" }, { "routeOffsetID": "22", "routeAbbr": "4", "name": "Washtenaw" }, { "routeOffsetID": "24", "routeAbbr": "46", "name": "Huron - Textile" }, { "routeOffsetID": "25", "routeAbbr": "5", "name": "Packard" }, { "routeOffsetID": "26", "routeAbbr": "501", "name": "Pontiac - Huron High" }, { "routeOffsetID": "27", "routeAbbr": "502", "name": "Plymouth - Huron High" }, { "routeOffsetID": "28", "routeAbbr": "505", "name": "Packard-Huron High" }, { "routeOffsetID": "29", "routeAbbr": "6", "name": "Ellsworth" }, { "routeOffsetID": "31", "routeAbbr": "609", "name": "Dexter - University" }, { "routeOffsetID": "32", "routeAbbr": "7", "name": "South Main - East" }, { "routeOffsetID": "33", "routeAbbr": "710", "name": "ExpressRide Chelsea" }, { "routeOffsetID": "34", "routeAbbr": "711", "name": "ExpressRide Canton" }, { "routeOffsetID": "35", "routeAbbr": "787", "name": "AirRide" }, { "routeOffsetID": "38", "routeAbbr": "8", "name": "Pauline" }, { "routeOffsetID": "23", "routeAbbr": "9", "name": "Dexter - Jackson" }];
