@seattledot the real-time travel time sign at 15th Ave NW and NW 61st St seems to be broken. Travel time to downtown has been listed at an hour or more for days now, when actual travel time is more like 20 minutes.

@thenancychang @anowheels I need some time to recover from my first viewing ;)

Hey @kcmetrobus why ever run a non-articulated 18 Express? Bunch of people just got left on the curb in Ballard.

@MyCommTrans if your internal GTFS feed is good enough for @OneBusAway, why not everyone else?
English

@MyCommTrans so where is your public GTFS feed for apps like Google, Nokia, Bing, Transit App, Moovit to use?
English

@nongnonghead @kcexec Google Maps for one (goo.gl/maps/Up4FF). Only missing @MyCommTrans because they won't share data w/o FOIA req

@kcexec No offense Dow, but why are you wasting resources on this when there are tons of private sector apps that do a much better job?

@egid definitely look at OTP if you haven't. That's right up their wheelhouse.

@egid sadly, I moved on to Google and built it there. That said, I know OTP is adding more real-time integration all the time.

So if you aren't a software developer but you want to hire one, any advice on getting started? plus.google.com/+BrianFerris/p…

@caitbonnar @sm_rose @japacible @OneBusAway no I think it really is KCM. There isn't an exception for Labor Day in their GTFS feed.

@enoughkc @KCATAMetro Boston's OneBusAway app?! I was a Seattlelite when I wrote OneBusAway ;)

@VeloBusDriver you can either use the "Report a Problem" link in Google Maps or send me example queries that you think are problematic.
