I'm not really sure how to use GitHub yet.
But I put the scripts on there for the Green Line.

I actually don't really have a use for the maps. I just wanted to experiment with the NexTrip API and see what I could "mashup" with Google Maps. If anyone wants a copy of the PHP/Google Map V3 script, email me through my website: http://www.catpin.com/contact.php The script is one file pl...

Update on the NexTrip API concerning the Green Line. The programmers at NexTrip have repaired the offset in Green Line GPS latitude. All GPS locations are now correct. Map corrected now ... using the current GPS locations from the API: http://www.catpin.com/greenline The actual NexTrip API (where I'...

I contacted metrotransit about the error in GPS latitude for a portion of the Green Line. They told me that someone is already working on it. Meanwhile, I figured-out the error is latitude+0.007795 Here is my NexTrip API/PHP/Google Map mashup showing all trains in service ... in real time : http://w...

Thank you, that helps me understand it.

I'm trying to learn how the system works. At any given time, like let's say at 10am today, how many trains are actually moving on the green line? One train in each direction, or are there 4 trains spaced apart? Is there a chart or graphic that shows it, or an explanation for a novice like me?

I'm starting to plot the Blue Line. It appears to be placing Google Markers on the rails (unlike part of the Green Line). Here are the Blue Line markers: http://www.catpin.com/blueline2.php The 2 real-time locations are: http://www.catpin.com/greenline.php http://www.catpin.com/blueline.php Now, the...

I wanted to show everyone what I discovered about the NexTrip API, specifically using this: http://svc.metrotransit.org/NexTrip/VehicleLocations/902?format=json After plotting several GPS coordinates, a strange thing becomes apparent: All GPS locations West of 35W are on the tracks, appearing OK. Al...

The entries have timestamps which seem to be currently updated. This is an entry in the API: "Bearing": 0, "BlockNumber": 69, "Direction": 3, "LocationTime": "/Date(1436363281000-0500)/", "Odometer": 0, "Route": "902", &...

Hi, I've been playing with this: http://svc.metrotransit.org/NexTrip/VehicleLocations/902?format=json It's the NexTrip API ... in this case showing some last reported locations of the Green Line Light Rail. Has anyone ever used the API's before? I punched in some of the GPS locations (latitude, long...
