Hello, Glad you like it. Would love to work with other people and create the 'ultimate' travel app. The busfinder stuff was partly inspired because I never have the faintest idea what route a bus is taking so never know when to get off! Adding geo-location is a step I would like to add, as well as lots of other cool things. Hopefully get some more ideas and get something going in a week or 2 when work (real life!) has calmed down a bit.
