Neat - I'll have to read on how you did this, I'd love to incorporate it in a transit site/app somehow :)

There are some oddities, though - what does this mean? http://cl.ly/image/2p0b2c1H2l1X

The direction (inbound/outbound) comes from NextBus data and is frequently erroneous, so in that case a train traveling outbound is shown with the inbound vehicles.

The position above the last stop is because MUNI vehicles have significant extra track beyond the 4th/King stop that they use to wait and turn around.

Oh, of course - I forgot I didn't click the outbound box. After seeing that it's pretty clear :)
