One day of Action buses

STL Transit has made this fascinating video mapping the traffic of Action buses travelling around Canberra. It’s strangely hypnotic.

One weekday (from 5:00am to 1:00am) of transit activity in Canberra (ACT), Australia based on the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data made available by ACTION (http://www.action.act.gov.au/).

Is anyone else getting a late 80s/early 90s arcade beat-em up feel from the music? I think I’m gonna go dig out Double Dragon when I get home.

I catch a thesaurus to work.

Thesaurus, the only english language word in the world without a synonym?

More white dots, my gosh, the UFOs are everywhere.

Well you can take my little dot off as my bus also has just not turned up. It’s ok to provide these lovely twitter feeds, nice communications and funky vids, but another obviously to provide a service that works. I’ve experienced more disruptions in the last few months than in my whole 10 years in Canberra.

Out Fyshwick way they just appear and disappear more or less randomly. Seems about right.

Well I’ll know that the 710 @ 4:45 yesterday from near sydney avenue won’t be on the map. It never came.

Not the first time its happened either.
