bus monster
This is totally sweet: busmonster.com. They've integrated Google's maps, Yahoo's traffic reports, and Seattle's public bus information to show bus locations, stops, routes, and arrival times.

I used to take the 70s so often...

i was going to say that's awesome and then i saw the bus routes and traffic conditions.
only thing i would like is if it were easier to manipulate the blue bus stops circle.

just amazing though.

I wish those guys would see the light and stop using that hugetastic java applet.

thanks evan! Just last Friday I was struggling with the busview applet trying to locate a scheduled stop on the route map and wishing someone had a google maps solution.

I really hope that Google allows these sort of hacks to continue. I've been wanting to learn the API and create a geographical based network monitoring map (possibly tied with weather service reports) for the WA K20 network. Something to try after my wedding perhaps. :)
