Closest bus stop arrival times for Singapore

Singapore bus arrival Web application

Proving that a Web application sucks less than a native App to get bus arrival time given a bus stop!

Bus count wrong

Bus stop count: 5086 is reported in the action

❯ curl -s https://bus.dabase.com/?id=25269 | grep "bus stops in Singapore"
			<li>There are 5043 bus stops in Singapore</li>

Incorporate bus stop info

https://landtransportguru.net/bus-stops/

• fill in abbreviations Opp = Opposite
• Which district the stop is in

Perhaps advertise direction based on bus stop id's last digit?

Cookie is set twice?

Bus stop data URL has changed

FYI, this URL referenced in the README now returns a 404: http://www.mytransport.sg/content/dam/mytransport/DataMall_StaticData/Geospatial/BusStops.zip

It's possible that this data has now moved into the "dynamic"/API section and requires an API key.

From: http://www.mytransport.sg/content/dam/mytransport/DataMall_StaticData/LTA_DataMall_API_User_Guide.pdf

Dataset URL http://datamall.mytransport.sg/ltaodataservice.svc/BusStopCodeSet
Description Lists details for all bus stops in Singapore (code, road, description).

When I query that though, I get a result with only 50 stops. Not sure if their API is broken or I am sandboxed.

Employ relative date API

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/10/intl-relativetimeformat

Might want to rip out the JS to a separate file too and inline with a template. However I do mix in template conditional which should also be coded out.

Introduce a colour hint for the bus stop

Problem is sometimes I get confused as to which bus stop I'm at. I feel like a need a visual cue to remind me if I'm looking at the right time table. Often enough, after working out, I'm so tired, I don't realise I'm looking at the bus stop that's showing me the bus stop at home, as opposed to the one that will take me home.

Proposal, hash the bus stop and create a unique color:

There is a risk that the color choice might be unreadable or potentially too similar to the bus stops you care about.

Node JS module : Feature Request!

Hi @kaihendry ,

Thank you for this. I have been using LTA bus for a while. Works really well. I am working on a project, using google maps/transit API to query BUS arrival times. But the way LTA bus works is much much better. I like the way it shows all bus in that particular stop.

I was wondering if i could request another feature/variation of this. Would you be interested in creating a node.js module for this so it can be easily imported in one of these projects?

Do lighthouse test after deployment to staging

I think this would mean dropping Travis CI ....

Generate some statistics around datamall2.mytransport.sg access

99p latency / response time

Make it work without Javascript

Update to v2 API

Been annoying how LTA cut the early API

{
    "fault": {
        "faultstring": "Raising fault. Fault name : unknown-resource",
        "detail": {
            "errorcode": "messaging.runtime.RaiseFault"
        }
    }
}

What to do with bad requests?

• path=/apple-touch-icon.png size=19 B status=404

Not sure if mux can > /dev/null these or we should do something about them ?
