If I'm not mistaken there is already a "Next-bus" company. Also, I recall (but from a WHILE ago) someone in Cape Town area that also considered the "next-bus" name. It was specifically related to Cape Town's BRT system.

It allows to become more than just for busses.

How difficult is it to add an age coundown to the bus time too, when you click on it? "Last Update: 08:43:13 SAST" becomes "Last Update : 08:43:13 SAST (2:32 min ago)" .. and a reminder to fix the two hour offset, actual time for the above was 6:43 A question: Is this timestamp from the source server (gautrain I presume) or do you add it? This is already really great. It seems to be the only browser based tool out there. All development of this type has moved to smart phones??
