Ha, small world :-) Agreed on timing, it could be better. I'll consider skipping some of the words + make them appear slower. Thanks for the suggestion!
BUS 55 - DANS - 5MIN ?
I think that makes sense, yeah. I would rather not flash other digits (55) as that could be confusing for someone who sees that number go by (was that the bus number or the number of minutes?)
Thank you!
There's a bus station across from my studio / coworking space. I can see people waiting for the bus and doing either: 1) staring into the void 2) looking at their watches 3) desperately glancing in the direction where the bus is coming from. I figured that it'd be nice to let people know when the bus is supposed to be there. So, I installed a 28" display on a monitor stand, installed the stand on my window frame, tur…
blinks ouch, perhaps it's just my colour-blindness, but just fyi I can't read your site at all unless I highlight the text. Awesome public service with the Pi bus times though, love it!

In China, they can get these bus message on a smartphone at mostly main city. The app would show the bus location and predict the time bus would reach according to the traffic status graphically.

really cool project man, props! bit strange they don't do this ,but i suppose Canada is A LOT larger than my country so perhaps it's harder to roll out decent services in all places :D very nice stuff though! the most annoying thing in the world to me is waiting on something without a clear indication of when the wait will end so you are doing a big big service to these poor people :D

If the buses have GPS then Montreal should launch an app. They did that here where I live and now everyone can see where each bus is, live, on a map of the city. Best thing ever for us control freaks.
In any case, one of the neat things about the Pi sign is that it works for everyone (whether you have a phone or not), and is part of the urban landscape. You can use your phone for more important things, or just leave it alone a few minutes while you wait. :)

This is awesome work and thank you for doing this for public without asking. P.S. does the transit authority offer an API or is this prone to breaking when they change their page layout? [edit: I just read about the rumor on your webpage. Clarifies.]
If you use MITMProxy or Charles you can easily intercept the traffic on 99% of all iPhone/Android apps (bit harder if pinned-sertificate). These API’s are often stable because a lot of users don’t update their apps that often.
It boots up and has support for virtual memory, interrupts, timers and very basic multi-threading.

At one point, I figured I wanted some lighting for my bar, which consists of about 70 bottles on shelves (about 1.2m wide and 2m height). But a simple on/off is not good enough. Instead, I went with individually addressable LEDs (NeoPixels strips to be exact), and developped my own back-end to manage those LEDs, with a simple front-end. So far, it supports lighting bottles individually, by category (rum, vodka etc...…
