Hello everyone.

I wrote some code using the developer API: https://github.com/andrewdea/mta-info/

This creates a custom GoogleMap, that has information for every bus stop in the system: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1Y-euNeFcsu06Zxfdl6u6-sca3Yp-KYY&ll=40.71865725691622%2C-73.976623&z=10.
It's been useful for me and my friends, especially as a way to know the code for any bus stop: no matter where we are, we can check the code for a specific stop, send it to the MTA via text message, and get an estimate for the arrival time.

Sharing here in case others find it useful/interesting. I'm also wondering if there's other useful things that could be enabled with this approach and program. I'd be interested in your ideas.
Thanks!

Best,
Andrew
