Real time bus informaiton

Have you took public bus before? I like taking bus when possible. I used to ride Triangle Transit Agency buses before. One thing I do not like is to wait in the bus stop and have no idea when the next bus is coming. Sometime you wait 5 minuets, sometime you wait 10 minutes. It is not fun for waiting the bus.

Fortunately, new technology (GPS) allows real-time tracking where the bus are and home long the bus will come to your stop. Some public transportation service providers already provide this kind of service. You can get the real-time information by web, or text messages or digital signs at some stops. Then you can easily schedule your time more wisely when riding a bus.

To view some example, please visit the following site.

• View real-time bus locations and arrival predictions for Chapel Hill Transit (CHT) routes in North Carolina
  
• View real-time bus locations for NCSU Wolfline routes in Raleigh, NC

Very good services.

GoTriangle provides trip planner service. it is also a great service for bus riders. You just type your start location and your destination, then it will provide you a list of route options for you to choose. It is very useful when you need to take bus but are not very familiar with bus schedule.

Hopefully, more and more people would take public transportation to help our environment.

North Carolina County GIS Data

This site lists all the GIS sites in each county. What a good service provided by a college library! NCSU did an excellent job to collecting/organizing all the GIS links together. It saves people a lot of time if you are interested to viewing county GIS maps. Are you curious to the deeds, and tax records, NC department of Administration make a page to list these information for each county online. A great service too. Here is the link.
