The biggest pain I found living in London (that can be solved in a week) is bus lines visualization. I find almost impossible to visualize the route of a bus, much less to combine two routes to get to a point. The official site gives line number information from point to point, but no visualization.
I don't know if the London transports has an API with real time information, but it could be cool to have all the buses diplayed in a map.
This could be expanded to see delays, or other line issues.
- ddebernardy 12y agoCurious to understand: how are the official ones not good enough or useful? http://www.tfl.gov.uk/maps/bus http://www.tfl.gov.uk/maps/bus
- omegant 12y agoThey are usable but they can be improved quite a lot, they are too general. The night map is specially bad.
- apricot13 12y agoThere is a visualisation on the website its just super hard to find! http://www.tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/14/?direction=inbound http://www.tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/14/?direction=inbound It would be cool to be able to click somewhere on that map and then somewhere else and have all the routes in x radius display. (I dislike the tube so this would be amazing!)

- mrborgen 12y agoDoesn't Google Maps work well for this?
- omegant 12y agoI find useful for tube conections, although it's really(really) slow and more confusing lately. I've been unable to find a useful bus route with google. But maybe it's me.
