I have a suggestion for an improvement. Is there any way to get the number pad keyboard to show up instead of the alphabetical keyboard? Since I never type words into the “Bus ID” field, it’s an annoyance (albeit a minor one) to have to switch to the symbols/number keyboard before typing in a new stop. And the buttons on the number pad keyboard are larger. I’ve noticed that other sites can make that the default keypad when input is strictly numbers.

That aside, thank you thank you thank you for this application. I use it constantly. After Google Reader it’s the second-most bookmark I use daily.

Any chance you can fix or compensate for the time on onmyiphone.com being 3 minutes slow? It throws all of the estimated wait times off. Thanks

Oh, that explains why I was never getting streetcar times on TriMet Tracker when I was in town–it’s a shame. BTW, I’d like to invite you to join the Transit Developers mailing list:

Ok, found how to clear cookies, and that worked around the problem.

I’ve been having a problem with this, so I thought perhaps it wasn’t being looked at anymore; but since it works by clicking new, I think it’s probably just me (any way to clear cookies on an iPhone?).

On the homepage I get a traceback (Camping Problem!). Since I have to type it out, here’s the exception only:
Markaby::InvalidXhtmlError id `favorite_undefined` already used (id’s[sic] must be unique).

Thanks for making this - I can’t wait to try out the new version.
