An Open Source Live Bus Data Monitor

Thanks, Jaeyoung. Yes, I remember seeing those around Seoul and really appreciated being able to know when the bus was coming. Unfortunately, these live displays are a little slow to be implemented in cities like Los Angeles (where I live), even tough the bus data are available and easily accessible. What I like about Graham-Cumming's design is that it's a way for citizens to create their own display, without having to wait for the transportation department to install them, which can be a slow and costly process.

Design is interesting but This is a system already implemented in Seoul, Republic of Korea. It is called on word of ITS(Intelligent Transportation System)

In Seoul they don't display these on Cafe windows but the data is displayed on every bus stop, or subway stations (In case you need to transfer to a bus, you could take a smart run)

The Data can also be accessed via a smart phone for any station in the city( You can view the scheduled time and the actual time which the bus is arriving.)
