Nice app mark. How long did this take you?

1 day of hacking and 90 days of muni frustration :)

This is really cool. I can't believe nobody's made this before.

NextBus has something similar, but it's java, so no-go for mobile.

They have a mobile app version. I've been using it for years. You get yellow arrows instead of buses, and it's route specific. Sometimes busses disappear.

Where are you getting the data? The UI is pretty bad (or maybe just doesn't support Chrome?) but still better than other sites/apps.

The UI is designed for mobile!

That's really awesome. What did you use to build this? What inspired you to build this? My idea generation brain cells could use a jolt.

Where is the data from? How reliable is it?

A quick inspection of the source code indicates that the data is being fetched from NextBus. (Examine http://supermuni.com/js/services.js )

A tiny suggestion: the field where you type the route should say "Or type it and click go", not just "Or type it and click." It's a little clearer. I see that you fully spell it out at the very top, but I skipped past that, and I suspect a lot of other people will, too, because it's so small.

This is impressive, though -- good job.
