Here the user interface is already well defined and you can see it in action online in real time.2012, December
Entry made within a few days of site creation. Most efforts were focused on geolocating the bus-stops and registering them with certain routes. Good mood and optimism are a must for such tedious work. Here you can see the first outlines of the interface and yellow squares of route numbers, which have been in use ever since.
