Build Your Own LCD Bus Schedule

Posted by michael on from the mass-transit dept.

MikeLRoy writes "An engineering student in Winnipeg, tired of missing his bus to school (and waiting in the cold) created an LCD bus stop. It displays the next bus times for several stops and routes, all from the heated comfort of his kitchen. And yes, there are pics and code on the site."

    Obviously, this guy doesn't live in Philadelphia. If he did, he'd know that SEPTA buses are never on time, and that any attempt to predict their arrival is utterly futile. Besides, nobody ever wants to be encouraged to get on a SEPTA bus on time in order to sit next to some hobo who doesn't know the meanings of "soap" and "nail clippers."
