NextGen NextBus

Thanks to Matt Baume of SFist for the news that NextBus has upgraded:

Just type in "http://www.nextbus.com/googleMap/test.jsp?a=sf-muni&r=" (without the quotes, duh) and put the number of your bus line at the end. So, if you want to see how long you'll be waiting for the 31, you'd point your browser here:

Or in my case, the 21 Hayes.  It's still a long way to Nirvana.  As Matt notes, "when do we get LED displays in all the bus stops? We think that this information might be of use to people who are, y'know, actually waiting for a bus."  But my life just got a lot better.
