I'd been exploring a similar project a few years ago, and ended up making a map that showed the location of buses along the routes I tended to take. I was pretty happy with it...except for the fact that it was built for the town (Duluth, MN) I went to school in, and I didn't get it finished until finals week of my last semester, and I left town immediately after!

That board deserves to be on display at City Hall or something. Inspiring work and I lament with you that you weren’t able to use it more than a few days.
Thanks! :) I definitely thought about seeing if I made a polished version, if I'd be able to sell a copy to the local transit authority, or something. But it made for a great conversation piece, and was tons of fun to build, so it's definitely a success as far as I'm concerned.
