Here is a handy trip planner if you don't take public transit often (or
even if you do). It integrates schedules for most bay area transit
authorities and spits out a route.http://www.transitinfo.org/cgi-bin/taketransit

In order to make this post more topical, last night I was running Kismet
(wireless LAN sniffer) on my Sharp Zaurus (linux handheld) while waiting
for the bus in downtown San Francisco. I didn't pick anything up at first,
but then an access point came into view--RTA--and disappeared as quickly.
This happened just as a bus rushed by. I immediately thought, "Rapid
Transit Authority?" I was about ready to dismiss the notion when it
happened again: bus comes by, access point in view, bus disappears, access
point disappears.
I didn't catch what kind of bus it was, but I think it was GGT. What could
they be doing with wireless networking on their buses? Think it is related
to some kind of automated schedule-keeping mechanism? Or maybe it is
NextBus related.
