Has anyone ever noticed that the times that you get for public transportation are way off anyway when you use google maps?

The SFMTA strives to provide accurate information. Please provide a few specific examples in which the times are off.

Hope this helps,

I don't see realtime data here. Why can't I get realtime data about arrival times of the MUNI fleet? That would make this site really useful. A static list of routes, schedules and stops has marginal use without realtime data.

Chad Salinas says: Hey Jamison! I didn't see "Google Transit" as an iPhone app. Which iPhone app are you using to get SFMTA's GTFS feed?

Cheers,

Chad

Chad Salinas says: Exposing a real-time Transit dataset requires changing Http Post from Add to Upsert for idempotent incremental changes.

How does the idempotency of DB write operations impact on providing a live feed of vehicle position information? What side effects would a GET on RT data have?

I'd like to see a real time dataset which describes the current state of all vehicles in the form of:

(veh_number, line_number, direction, last_stop, xpos, ypos)

It would be nice to query using line_number and direction to prune the response.

Hey Marcos! As you rightly mentioned, not an issue for the GET. Curious about incremental UPDATEs and new POSTs.

Cheers,
