Any Train/bus Time Table Application Out There ? Options

[nilch]

IS there any Train / Bus Time Table application for the Zaurus ? I need a simple app to check time tables for the daily train commute for the to and fro trips, so that I can pack up and be there at the station in time for the train. Just something which gives the nearest timings to the current time.

or maybe I will write myself a simple application.

Oh, and is there any public location where such train schedules are easily available for US cities ?.
Thanks for any pointers

UBahn Navigator maybe?

Thanks for one pointer - but it does not have time-tables or the ability to create a time table and view it at start-up.

That is essentially what I am looking for. I am perpetually late for my trains and so I was looking for a simple app to show the train schedules (if entered in a flat file) showing the nearest train times compared to current time, so that I could rush for it before its too late (commuting between New York and New Jersey, trains are the life-lines to getting anywhere in time in the city).

Any extra features would be welcome.
I was planning to write a python app for such a purpose in that case. It could essentially work for any city train or bus schedules (for those who avail of mass transit) provided the schedule from the Origin to Destination stations (and any stations in between) are entered manually into a text file. (Later maybe I could do a entry form for schedules, or an import feature from public schedules online).

If I can do a decent job of it, I will pass it onto others here who need it.
Its going to be a python PyQt app, so Kopsis's python build might come in useful here.

Look at ths http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1429

Is it suitable for you?

Wow, that a real help. That is just waht I was looking for.

Too bad most of thesew softwares/utilities are not listed on the elsix.org site as yet.
Will definitely check this out.
Thanks a lot

Decided to cook up my own train/bus schedule viewer for the Zaurus.

Attached is my Python/PyQT app (please use Kopsis python, since I havent tested with any other and its more complete than others) for vieweing your daily train or bus schedules for up and return trips tp get the exact train times before you rush out for it.

Its packaged as a Sharp ROM IPK file. You need to have python already for this to work.

In short ...

Features
-------------
- Shows all train (or mass transit) schedules in a friendly list with nearest trains to the current time.
- You can view times for up or down schedules with the tap of a button.
- Allows to set any stations out of all station list in a particular way schedule as origin and any other station as destination.
So you can change your origin/destination stations depending on your commute any time.

Future features
----------------------
- ability to enter or edit any schedule
(now the schedule has to be created manually)
- support for multiple schedule files
- show time left for subseqent train / bus timings from current time

If anyone benefits from this - its yours - just remember to keep the GPL spirit in mind as you distribute it further.

Please send feedback if possible (PM me)

Thanks all
