Welcome Ozmike, and hi again to Sean. Given that this is already a web based app, can we have a web interface... at least to see where the next buses are. Eg, I'm at work on my computer, why should I have to get out my iPhone to see where the buses are, why can't I look on my computer as well?!

Perhaps a similar application could be made for trains?

Trains, much more than buses should be able to make the displays work.  Largely they do, but they don't currently handle cancellations properly.

You could use it for trains, except tunnels etc would be problematic.

Do the trains displays show scheduled or actual time though? It would be nice if you could get this info in a nicer format on your phone.

Not sure about the LED ones (I think they have both?), but the LCD ones at Central/Roma St display the service as the scheduled time, but have the expected arrival/departure time (in minutes remaining terms) on the RHS of the screen.

Yes, all the displays show both scheduled and estimated times.  The only frustrating part is waiting for a cancelled train.
