LiveBus.org launched
As part of a demo at the inaugural Oxford Geek Night (Update: podcasts now online at that link - hooray for immortalised mumblings!) on Wednesday night, I finally gave in and launched the project I've been working on for the last many months.
LiveBus.org is a free service that lets you find bus stops and routes on a map and look up live arrival times. It currently covers most routes in Oxfordshire and Surrey, and will hopefully be expanded in the future.
More info on LiveBus is at the about page.
Comments/questions/suggestions welcomed and encouraged.

Love it, very useful. Saw your demo in the Jericho Tavern last night. Cheers!
wow! that would be really useful... if only you had the stop in my village on there.... in oxfordshire, south of didcot, all those little villages like upton, east hagbourne and blewbury have bus-stops and local buses go around them and to didcot.
I think the only route I have data for that serves Didcot is the 35A/B. See if you can find your stop here: http://www.oxontime.co.uk/
Email me if you find it and I'll look into why it's not showing up.
I tried to find out where bus stop H3 was but could not get a map to load up. Please improve things....
Congratulations on the New Media Award - video blogged here

A brilliant idea but it's not working for Storrington in West Sussex where I live! Are you still developing the site?
Alan
Development of the site has slowed down quite a lot recently, but I hope to improve coverage soon.
LOL - great that you are hacking into a commercial website for you data and then refering users to that site (www.oxontime.co.uk for example).
Hi James
THis is a really great site.
You should enter our National eWell-Being Awards http://www.sustainit.org/ewell-being-awards/2007-8-awards.php
As I believe it would stand a good chance of winning.

HI James,
Livebus is a great idea and a very clear and easy to use. So much better than any of our local bus websites. When is livebus coming to Dorset?
Congrats on your NM Young Inventor of the Year Award. I read about it in the latest Bryanston Newsletter, hence me checking out your site.
Best wishes, Fred's Mum.
Great site, but clicking on bus stops in Reading for timetables seems to link to the Oxfordshire timetables and not Reading Buses
Hi, great website, help a lot, but for some reason Maps has problem to display, I'm using IE8 and maps haven't displayed at all. Regards Mario
