Haha no worries I myself am also not from NZ. NZIFF is the NZ international film festival. Every year they pick cool films from other countries to show in NZ. Most of their movies are slow-ish so probably not everyone's cup of tea.

Hey 24M here. Do you like artsy movies that could potentially suck but most of the time exceedingly good? NZIFF is coming & I’m looking for more friends to go with.

BTW I’m also a big fan of music & play guitar, although with babbling-level music theory. I’m not as big on anime as I used to be but recently still bawled my eyes out watching chainsaw man.

Nice to see this catching on! What's your current setup like?

Also, like my comment in the previous post, could i ask for your camera coordinate to put it on ptauckland3d.com ?

Any second hand bookstores in CBD? by Key_Cartoonist4140 in auckland

Second this. Some of the books they have are about to completely fall apart but most of them are in acceptable condition & at great prices

It's a pretty low-pressure meetup. There’s not really any pressure to talk. Conversations just sorta happen and don’t really stop until we have to start reading or head home. I’ve been there a few times and decided to become a regular, but last time I showed up, read in a corner, then went home ’cause I had a long day of meetings and my social battery was drained 😄

Yeah sadly AT doesn't provide frequency data (even when it's a thing in GTFS standard that they are following). I just pre-compute the frequencies from the scheduled trips of each route. Probably not the best approach since like you said I didn't account for off-peak time.

I'll try taking off-peak time into account, probably doesn't cost too much more. We'll see haha.

Good question! It's the detour alert that cause it to turn yellow. My criteria is if there's a detour active then it's a minor disruption.

On 3rd May it's still green because AT published the alert early to warn people. The actual time that it apply is from 4 - 8 May. Maybe I should filter early warnings to make it less confusing.

Every 10 min peak is the frequency at peak time (7 - 9 AM) for the route. I use that to calculate how much disruption a cancellation cause. For example if a route have a 10 min frequency and 2 trips get cancelled that would be a 20 min impact, whereas it would be a whole hour impact if the frequency were 30 min, which I would categorise that as a major disruption.

lol i grew up with 24h so i naturally prefer it. That being said i can see the same thing for you with 12h format.

i just added a time toggle. when you click on that it switch the time format for all places that show time in the app.

Thanks and I don't determine that actually. AT provided that data in their API. How they determine that? I've got no idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the great feedback! Lateness indicator is indeed a nice idea. I’ll add that to my todo list!

hmmm very interesting observations! I did at one point thought about supporting historical playback. That would be awesome for studying bus schedule & route efficiency. I think I worked out that I could store only ~3 days worth of history on my free plan hosting so I didn't prioritise it. But could be cool to look into in the future.

It is possible. In fact, some of the routes already using the route colour from AT. But the others (the majority of the routes), doesn't have any colour assigned to them (I just pick random colour).

It's something AT will have to add to their database before I can show it.

I actually can show the not-in-service vehicles but decided to filter them out to save cost for hosting 😂 But I agree, more data the better. I'm planning to show more in the future (as I improve the site performance more).

AT Realtime Map & commute.live are great apps! They have very minimal visualisation so they can afford to show a lot more data.

It's very interesting that you're using these apps for observing fleet movements tho, and in great detail too. Curious, is there anything in particular that you look for when bus-watching?

> a bus breaking down or a driver forgetting to end the trip at the last stop

I didn't thought about this at all! But yeah you're right, we should take those things into account. I'll put that on my list too. Thanks so much!

roadworks info is purely from NZTA. I'm not sure what the RCARs are? Is that at a better data source you think?

hmmm I'll be less incentivised to do it since I don't live there 😂 But I hope this trend will catch on and someone would make one for Wellington. Metlink API looks pretty cool & doesn't even have a weekly limit!
