Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition Nov 20-22
The news over the wire (i.e., Twitter) is that the commute has not been pretty this morning, though it's improving except for 405 southbound, which is red and black on the map. For those of you still wondering where your bus is, take a look at Metro Tracker and the adverse weather/reroutes page. Savvy bus users tell us they swear by One Bus Away. They even have a blog for you to read while you're waiting for your bus. The One Bus Away Twitter feed has the absolutely latest bus news.

Metro's adverse weather/reroute page is still worthless.
And I see the Metro Tracker page is providing a lot of No Info as the buses move to reroutes and cease to provide accurate travel time info. So One Bus Away results will be hampered by that, too.
Oh, now I hear the actual tracking feed is down completely, so all your MyBus and OneBusAway results are useless. Super.
When Metro's tracker is down, MyBus is worthless (i.e., all the time). I don't know where One Bus Away gets their data, but they were dead on for me this morning.
The OBA blog says they use the same "real-time" feed as MyBus gets from Metro, so when that goes down, OBA is blind, too. I think they revert to publishing "scheduled" times at that point. It sounds like you got lucky, punk.
I walked from downtown to Olive and up to 15th. Beat all the busses to the top. Sad.
