Physics guy and mobile device hacker Dan Bjorkegren made a brilliant web service for Seattle residents that I'm going to use from now on. It's called SpotBus. If you've used Google Suggest you know how handy it is when you start to type and Google "suggests" search terms. Spotbus works like somewhat like that, as you type your start or destination location (in landmarks) is can find the locations and return the results right away. It's a lot faster than Metro's tool or a timetable. Great DIY remixing of "suggest" user interfacing and transit data!
