Started with a personal need

I received Glass.. but it wasn’t clear when the built-in directions app is using real time versus schedule data!I wanted to see all my options in one list sorted by time!I also want to reach my physical activity goals which means more walking depending on the time trade-off

So… I built it

Testing ‘Ask DC Metro’ at NoVA Open Data Day

Flow1. Install from

askopendata.com!2. Activate from Glass!

OK, Glass!Take a note!Ask DC Metro!What are my transportation options from Union Station?

How?Ruby + Sinatra - !Bootstrap web foundation!PostgreSQL for data store - for storing !Many APIs - there is no one free APIfor area transit data (yet?). I queryWMATA, NextBus, OneBusAway(thanks MobilityLab!),Capital Bikeshare, and more. !Tropo for SMS - It’s important to me that this information is available forpeople without Google Glass
