BART Widget

This widget rocks! Colorful, clear graphic description of which train is coming, when, to get you to your destination. The widget updates itself every minute telling you how soon the trains are. Optional spoken announcement. Map-based station selection. Doesn't need an internet connection to work. The only improvements I'd like to see are, an indication of the "bicycle blackout" (rush hour) trains, and a feature where you can save frequent trips, and quickly select them.

The current version of this widget is 1.05. Go to the developer's web site to download.

now we're workin'!!

I've been testing this BART widget as well as Woodware's BARTsmart and BART Planner. My preference is for BARTsmart, for its no-nonsense interface and the fact that it connects to the 'net to pull down whatever info BART has most recently published. Also, BARTsmart's developer says that future revisions will be customizable to show stuff like when bicycles are allowed. But this one is still quite OK... I find the graphical map interface a bit silly and cumbersome. But the schedule view is quite alright, especially since it's possible with this widget to look further ahead in the schedule.

This is the one, boys! Wear your Macs and be PROUD!
