The Playground / Re: What PT did you get today?...
Last post by triumph - December 27, 2024, 08:54:50 PM011 (R1 City > Phillip Avenue) QR used successfully but still flaky. Tap on needed moving phone about. Tap off required trying another validator.
003 (R1 Phillip Avenue > City) QR used successfully. Tap on at third validator worked well Tap off again required phone being moved around. 003 is showing some wear and tear - noisy motor/transmission.
QR, so far in my experience, is not yet a simple hold at the reader momentarily. It should read as easily and promptly as a supermarket checkout reads a barcode. Otherwise it will never be a convenient option. Personally, it is clear to me that, when I have finished experimenting, the MyWay+ card will be my usual method.

Routes and Timetables / Re: Printable Custom Timetable...
Last post by Sylvan Loves Buses - December 22, 2024, 08:09:32 AMAnd this is what happens to a timetable when more than a whole column is left completely bare.
This is insanity, send help!

Routes and Timetables / Re: Printable Custom Timetable...
Last post by Sylvan Loves Buses - December 21, 2024, 11:32:56 PMQuote from: Sylvan Loves Buses on December 20, 2024, 09:37:04 PMR4 NorthMust've been tripping or looking at the wrong timetable on the board (I hadn't yet created the R4 South yet, so it wasn't that). I've gone through the times and only one was wrong (by 1 minute). I've fixed that now.
- Might've been tripping, but I would swear some of the times on the Tuggeranong Interchange time board are different to the times online by 1-2 minutes (needs clarification).
Also for 70/71/63 - I may also replace timepoints (D) "Cooleman Court Departure" and (E) "Mount Stromlo High" with just "Cooleman Court". The intersecting at bus stops 1259/1263 seemed like a good idea in theory, but unless there's better connections next network, I think just putting everything at Cooleman will require less brain power to figure out the connections (it's like 5 minutes difference anyway).
In addition to creating brand new interchange maps for the network '98 design, I'm also thinking of adding interval estimates to bus stops on the maps at midpoints between timepoints. Whether this will help or not I will have to see, but it may be helpful both to make my life easier when creating more custom timepoints than necessary, but also to help navigate/connect with buses in the spaces where there aren't timepoints. I can fit a maximum of 9 timepoints in a column, adding "<- 5m~ ->" indicators on the maps could prove useful.
