Reminds me of this project that just came up on DC's reddit:
This is very cool! I love the idea of having a device dedicated to local transit as opposed to having another thing pulling me to my phone. I wish there was something similar for American cities.
Seems like it could be done as a phone app? Anyway, departure times are only part of the problem. I often want to know the arrival time of a train that has already departed, because I have to pick up a passenger who is aboard an incoming train. Or in the case of buses (nextbus.com in the US), I'm already on board bus #123 and I want to know its current location as a position on the bus route, so I can estimate how long til I reach my desired stop. This is for cases when the bus is going through an unfamiliar part of a city. The data is already on the servers, so it's annoying that the apps don't use it.
This looks nice. Can you explain what the purpose of the app is though?
Also, "Indoor use only" is a very big limitation.
If this is only for Switzerland, why the English website?
That's really neat! And I fully get what this is for, it would actually be handy for me. Instead of having to open the SBB app I could hang this on my wall and then see when the buses I always take at the station closest to me leave.
Does it support ships, cable cars and trains that leave the country as well?
A neat additional feature could be an NFC tag next to the entries that I could tap my phone on in order to trigger a ticket purchase.
