3. Started with a personal need
I received Glass.. but it wasn’t clear when the built-in
directions app is using real time versus schedule data!
I wanted to see all my options in one list sorted by time!
I also want to reach my physical activity goals which
means more walking depending on the time trade-off
4. So… I built it
Testing ‘Ask DC Metro’ at NoVA Open Data Day

9. How?
Ruby + Sinatra - !
Bootstrap web foundation!
PostgreSQL for data store - for storing !
Many APIs - there is no one free API
for area transit data (yet?). I query
WMATA, NextBus, OneBusAway
(thanks MobilityLab!),
Capital Bikeshare, and more. !
Tropo for SMS - It’s important to me
that this information is available for
people without Google Glass
