Metro on Mobile

It has been a while since I blogged a compliment over a complaint, but this one deserves an entry.

Ever since I got my Blackberry my commute is so much easier to manage thanks to NextBus and NextTrain from WMATA's mobile solutions.

Truth be told I am about a month or so away from getting an iPhone and I can't wait to explore the road/commuter warrior apps on that. For now, the BB mobile browser works well enough for me to get my GPS enabled bus arrival information.

Like just now I wanted the H4 crosstown but realized the 31 to Foggy Bottom metro was arriving. Thanks to the feature that shows you other relevant routes near you location you have options through information and data on your smartphone.

In fact, I am blogging this from the bus now. Gotta love connectivity.
