Charlottetown Bus + Google Maps

I don’t read printed bus timetables very well. So I created the Charlottetown Transit Interactive Bus Map:

This is a little Google Maps hack that uses PHP and JavaScript to display information about Charlottetown bus routes and schedules.

This is just a tentative first go; specifically:

• Only the Winsloe - University Ave. line is included (it’s the only one in operation as I write).
• Stop and route location may be incorrect; I simply recreated this as best I could from the published schedules and maps. If you find problems, please let me know.
• I left out the early morning and early evening swings to the Garfield St. terminal.
• Assumes a Big Browser Window (map is 700 pixels wide); future versions should be more flexible.
• No allowance made for the fact that there are no buses on Sundays.
• Doesn’t span days — after the transit day is over, all times display as “n/a”.

You’re welcome to grab the source and the data and improve. Steven says I need a source code repository for all my little code experiments; expect this soon.

It goes without saying that this project is unaffiliated with the City of Charlottetown or the transit operator; if it breaks, or sends you to the wrong place at the wrong time, it’s my fault, not theirs.
