## The what
|
|
|
|
Binghamton better bus in both of it's iterations is a web app to find a route from point to point in Binghamton using both the Broome County bus system as well as the OCCT bus system.
|
|
|
|
The HackBU iteration made use of the live maps available (at the time) to acquire the needed information about the bus systems.
|
|
|
|
In the 24 hour hackathon I was able to get a setup where I could input a start and endpoint and get a route which could be a layover at Binghamton University, the downtown bus terminal or in theory no layover with a single bus.
|
|
The one and only heuristic used was walking distance.
|
|
|
|
## What was learned
|
|
|
|
I learned some of the intricacies of the polyline algorithm and how the two bus live map APIs worked.
