I’ve known about NextBus, but today we took advantage of the service. We made the call to head down to the Ferry Building for a visit to the Farmers’ Market, and NextBus correctly said that the 5 Fulton was 4 minutes away. We made it, which saved 25 minutes of waiting.
On the way back, the mobile version of the site came up flawlessly on the Treo. There was a phantom bus, where NextBus told us the 21 Hayes was about to arrive, and it didn’t. But on a beautiful Saturday in San Francisco, waiting in the sun wasn’t a hardship.
