If the system relies on dynamic location information (i.e. if it relies on live data about where the train is based on GPS signals) then maybe. But if it relies on a timetable of where the train ought to be . . . riiiiight. Way cool – but is it accurate?

Not exactly brilliant results. The route request from Hoxton to Oxford Street on foot and public transport returns a truly patience testing hike all over London. Journey time? 1 hour 30. Actual time for anyone even casually aquatinted with how to read an A to Z and tube map. 30 mins. Must try harder. I just tried this in London. Not exactly brilliant results.

You see people practically kill themselves running for trains. Two things: a) get out of bed earlier b) there will be another train in 10 minutes. If that 10 minutes is so important go back to a) c) If you knock into me one more time I will trip you. Well this is stupid.

Two things:

a) get out of bed earlier

b) there will be another train in 10 minutes. If that 10 minutes is so important go back to a)

c) If you knock into me one more time I will trip you.
