SF vs LA

Wanted to use a trip planer and get big blue bus information bc it's so much more awesomer than the LA metro bus. So yeah, anyway the BBB website is at least 5 years out of date and running asp. it looks pretty difficult to scrape and they are going to put their data into open-format one of these days... after the city council vote to redesign the site

quote from 2009 email

Hey there, Green LA Girl (and Readers) –

Big Blue Bus has been working diligently towards bringing our information on to Google Transit for over a year. We are finally in the home stretch with the vendor who provides our scheduling software, and expect to be part of Google Transit within this calendar year.

On a related note, the proposal to redesign BBB’s website goes before City Council on July 28. With their approval, we’ll be able to rebuild the site to include online, real-time bus information and a trip planner similar to what you find at http://www.Metro.net, among many other helpful features.

I promise to keep you posted as our technology and services develop.

Thanks to you all for riding!
