Hmmm I guess if you submit a link, the "text" field gets ignored.

It uses Django and the App Engine. Data is just a scrape of nextbus.com.

Between the ‘pick a direction’, ‘pick a stop’ and displaying the actual time, if you could show some location graphic it would be nice. Also I will suggest you use Google Maps or any similar service to give it some colors. Great idea!!!

I like that... I'll have to see if there's a way to locate the stops short of just maintaining a database. I'll also need to be careful with browser detection - I don't want to be loading a Google map on an edge connection. I'm trying to walk a fine line with having a nice user experience and making it usable on ANY mobile device.

It's nice if you already know the routes, names, etc. But what if I want to go to Golden Gate Park and only have a vauge idea how to get there, transfers, etc?

Well, at least at this phase, I'm solving the very specific problem (dogfooding like crazy here, btw) of having a very set routine that can involve N number of busses where N > 1. Instead of having to look up departure times for each bus individually, you just set a bookmark. Now every morning, I just click "To Shuttle" and have everything I need to know.

Stuff like directions is already handled by Google Maps, though I realize that's not available on all phones.

Is the site layout optimized for the iPhone?

Yeah, but it works on most other phones its been tried on (limited audience so far, but I know it works well on the G1, as well as on some basic browser phones with small screens)

By the way: any feedback as to how it looks on non-smart phones + screenshots would be really appreciated.
