Like many others, I found myself frustrated with the occasional unreliability of Google Maps when searching for public transit options. However, my luck changed when I stumbled upon a cool command line tool developed by a UWaterloo student that predicted the next bus or LRT arrival time within seconds. This discovery led me to GRT.ca, a website providing real-time transit feed updates, allowing me to track the exact location of buses and LRTs. Inspired by this newfound resource, I created a naive map using ArcGIS ESRI Maps, loading location information from the protobuf feed and deploying it on my domain, livemap.shivasurya.me. This map became my go-to tool for finding the precise location of the next bus or LRT.</p>
