Real-time bikeshare maps.

[randomness]

http://bikes.oobrien.com/ has real-time bikeshare maps for many cities around the world. A few cities, like Paris, have stopped sharing data for some reason. Most of the others, including Montreal and Washington, seem to be okay sharing their station data. The maps also list how many stations are empty and how many are full, as well as circling them on the map. If you click on a station, you get a graph of how many bikes have been at that station in the last 24 hours.


It's really quite cool.

i wonder if they somehow linked sharing data on full stations led to theft, or some other misuse of the system... i've been curious about how it worked for awhile now; gonna go look at the site. :)

edited to add: i find it kind of weird that they don't appear to have a link to the actual service pages from their graph. you're retrieving and using their data and yet not sponsoring links to get a bike? perhaps i'm too commercially-minded. *wry grin*
