I am spending far too much time
on this and is getting tired ...
Nevertheless here's the
feature:
a. You need only to press the
'Get Map' button.
b. If no input string provided, I
will query only the 'traffic incidents' and 'weather nowcast'.
c. If no input string provided,
and you have opted for 'static' maps, it will download the
respective 'static' maps.
Available 'static' maps are:
i. All the LTA bus stops in SG.
Each bus stop are color-coded. Blue for 11 or more bus services,
Green for 6 to 10 bus services, Amber for 4 or 5 bus services, and
Red for 3 or less services. Each bus stop will furnish with bus
services number serving at that bus stop. [There are 4000+ bus
stops, be patient if you query for All Bus Stops]
ii. All MOE Schools. Each school
icons are color-coded, Blue for primary, Green for Secondary, Amber
for JC or CI and Red for Mixed level Schools.
iii. All Hotels in SG.
iv. All Hawker Centers in SG.
v. All Community Clubs and
voluntary organisations in SG...
vi. Dengue cluster .. [I will
remove this map soon, for this update is frequent, not as
static...]
d. If you provide a search
string.
It can be anything ...
it can be: 91 [to retrieve for
bus 91]
it can be: 91 92 [to retrieve bus
route for 91 and 92]
it can be 11401 91 [to retrieve
all bus services in bus top 11401 and 91]
it can be 11401 11121 91 [it will
ignore the second bus stop id, for bus arrival only 1 bus
stop].
it can be 91 147_2 93 94 92 [it
will try to plot all available bus route, for 147_2, it is
referring to the second route. If 147, by default it will plot
route for 147 for direction 1]
e. If there is a bus stop id in
the input string, it will capture the bus arrival time too.
f. The bus arrival icon as
mentioned earlier, the Green refers to 'Seat Available', Amber
refers to 'Standing Available' and Red refers to "Limited
Standings'. And the icons will display the 'bus arrival time'. And
the 'SIZE and OPACITY of the icons will tell if that bus is Next,
Subsequent or Next Subsequent buses...
g. If bus stop id is provided,
and there are 3 or more bus services calling it. It will plot the
bus routes for ALL the bus services. And the bus routes will show
the bus stops along the route. The color of the bus stops refer to
'Blue if 11 or more, Green if 6 to 10, Amber for 4 or 5 and Red for
3 or below bus services, AND WHITE for bus stops at the
UPSTREAM]
This application should help you
in :
a. Identifying the bus routes in
your neighbouhood.
b. Identifying for 'RED' bus
stops, they may need improvement.
c. Identifying for 'BLUE' bus
stops, why they need 11 or more bus services there ...
d. RED bus arrival icon, are
there sufficient capacity for that bus route at the timing?
e. The WEATHER and School
locations are included, for they are factors in bus route and and
capacity plannings.
....
Anyway let me know if you are
happy with this application.
