About Next Bus Away - Seattle Commute
Shows how many minutes until your next bus, train, or streetcar arrives, right on the Chrome toolbar. Built for the Seattle / Puget Sound commute using real-time OneBusAway data.
Set up your commute once:
• Configure a morning trip (from home) and an evening trip (from work), each with its own stop and route.
• The badge switches from the morning trip to the evening trip automatically at an hour you choose.
What the badge tells you:
• The number is minutes until the next arrival, refreshed every minute.
• Green means on time, blue means running late, red means early, black means scheduled time only (no real-time prediction yet), NA means no upcoming arrival.
Simple setup:
• Enter your stop number (printed on the bus stop sign), click Load routes, and pick your route from a list. No route IDs to look up.
• Works with King County Metro buses, Sound Transit express buses, Link light rail, Sounder trains, and the Seattle Streetcar.
• For platforms served in both directions (like the streetcar), pick your destination and the badge only counts arrivals going your way.
More:
• Click the icon to refresh immediately.
• Right click and choose "Open in onebusaway.org" for full arrival details at your current stop.
• Settings sync across your Chrome browsers. No accounts, no tracking, no data collection.
