Bus bot
DESCRIPTION
Busbot will read any tweets that mention the account @busbot1 and perform a
search to find the closest bus stop that will take the user to his destination.
Input:
@busbot1 (street)/(cross street) (destination street)/dest. cross street)
@busbot1 (mercer)/(westlake ave n) (stone way n)/(n 38th)
Output:
@busbot1 <bus number> <time> (street of bus stop)/(cross street)
@busbot1 (28) (12:10am) (dexter)/(roy)
As of now, @busbot1 is able to parse the message and respond back to the user
with the exact same message.
TODO:
- Consider if it's necessary to also output the stop to get off
- And if so, how far to walk? Multiple bus stops? How detailed should it be?
- Learn the Google Maps API to see how hard/easy it is to make POSTs
-
