If you ride MARTA buses regularly, I’m slowly trying to get a UX put together that’s usable at https://martalith.fly.dev. Things like:
- “I get on the same buses every day (at 2-3 stops) and just want to see my bus situation clearly/quickly”
- “I transfer at X station regularly and want to know the status of Y/Z routes for that station”
I’ve tried to build this in the past, and the bus data either confused me or didn’t seem usable. But MARTA recently added realtime bus positions + trip update endpoints, and early tests are looking more positive! When I can find an excuse to ride buses, I’m testing things out, but it’s slow-going.
I try to remember to put updates here when things change https://fosstodon.org/@jakswa
This is super cool. Thanks for sharing! I’ll take a closer look soon
