 ==== Realtime Information ====
-The Klang Valley has [[https://www.planningmalaysia.org/index.php/pmj/article/download/Article%201-8/36|extensive suburban sprawl]], so the [[https://myrapid.com.my/bus-train/rapid-kl/bus/|bus network]] (both trunk and feeder services) is a critical last mile component to public transportation network access (other than car ownership - park and rides). However, the sprawl, and the traffic congestion that the Klang Valley is notorious for, makes it expensive and challenging (or perhaps impossible, without major ground transportation reform) to maintain a consistent and short service interval on the bus network.
+The Klang Valley has [[https://www.planningmalaysia.org/index.php/pmj/article/download/Article%201-8/36|extensive suburban sprawl]], so the last-mile journey relies on the  [[https://myrapid.com.my/bus-train/rapid-kl/bus/|bus network]] (other than car ownership - park and ride). However, that sprawl, coupled with Klang Valley's notorious traffic congestion, makes it expensive and challenging (from my experience as a public bus captain, I would say, impossible) to maintain a consistent and short service interval on the bus network.
-I don't plan to work on ground transportation reform, of course, but to make the best use of the level of service that is already there. The loop service (service 650) that serves my taman (estate, literally "park") runs at a planned frequency of between 20 to 40 minutes, but due to congestion along Jalan Klang Lama (compounded by inclement weather), can have headways degraded to 40 to 60 minutes.
+Short of public transportation reform, I want to make best use of the level of service that is already there.
-With such long headways, a problem arises that the wait for the bus becomes half of, or more, of the commute time; rather than giving up on public transportation, having **realtime information** (specifically, realtime bus arrival times) means I can make more efficient use of my time by running errands or having a meal while waiting for the bus.

+===== Connecting to OneBusAway =====
+We will use OneBusAway as a mobile app frontend to OneTripPlanner.
+FIXME unfinished writing, OneBusAway + OpenTripPlanner works on Android, but not iOS; there was [[https://github.com/OneBusAway/otpkit|a GSoC 2024 project to support OpenTripPlanner on OneBusAway iOS]] but the app implementation never happened.
