Transit Table Examples

Authors

  • Tantek Çelik

Acknowledgment

Thanks to Kevin Marks for suggesting this need for a microformat on the microformats-discuss list (needslink) and providing the Caltrain example.

Problem Statement

Problem: how to markup transit tables for trains / light-rail etc. in such a way that aggregation and navigation of schedules across varying transit systems becomes possible.

Examples

Caltrain

Future Thoughts

This probably belongs more in a transit-table-brainstorming page, but until more examples are fleshed out and previous formats are researched, we're sticking future thoughts here.

Tufte Transit Graph

An application that read a standard transit-table microformat and produced a Tuftesque timeline grid would be very nice for transit users.
