Also, there is no Nextbus on these new trips, and evening trips that are trackable continue to be 10-20 minutes late, breaking connections at each end. Still IF these trips actually exist on the street, this is a boon to late night riders and may get me back to riding again, especially if the "A" trips are trackable via Nextbus so that I can avoid those 45 minute waits at El Monte.calwatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841732764880379020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5556841895471583120.post-6711560873612134642012-08-21T23:54:54.194-07:002012-08-21T23:54:54.194-07:00Tracking the Silver Line again tonight.

I think the bald driver is wreaking his havoc again.<br /><br />Interesting tip if you are near a computer, you can use the Nextbus raw feed. For the Silver Line it is http://webservices.nextbus.com/service/publicXMLFeed?command=vehicleLocations&a=lametro&r=910&t=0<br /><br />and it will show ALL buses on the route, even those which have somehow disappeared from the public Nextbus interface. You have to be able to Google the lat/long though, but the rest is easy enough to read. calwatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841732764880379020noreply@blogger.com
