The BART Widget

A trip planner for the BART train system in the northern California bay area.

Instructions for use:

1. Open dashboard.
2. See when the next train is coming.
3. Enjoy your smog-free public transportation.

Advanced use:

• Drag baubles on a map to set your route.
• Click the clock to set the date and time. (You can also drag the display or mousewheel.)
• Click the heart to bookmark your route.
• Click the speaker for voice announcements.

No network connection is required. The BART widget is a self-contained trip planner that you can take with you. It's free and open-source.

Are you interested in UI design? I wrote a paper that might change the way you think about software:

Magic Ink: Information Software and the Graphical Interface

It even discusses this very widget. Probably more than necessary.
