Great resource for Northern Virginia commuters

CommuterPage Mobile

http://www.commuterpage.com/pocket/pocketnews.cfm

I'm using this with JPluck 2.0 beta 6 with link depth set to 1.

Had to browse to the page in a regular browser, set my options, and export the cookies to cookies.txt

Covers general commuter news stories and has schedules available for:

ART
CUE
DASH
Fairfax Connector
Falls Church GEORGE
Loudoun County Commuter
Metrobus
VRE

The schedules are (at least the ones I've looked at) tables, so they don't work with JPluck at the moment. I believe the bleeding edge version of Plucker has support for tables but I haven't tried using Plucker itself to grab this site.

Hey Fellow Washingtonian!

That looks pretty cool... cept they only have like 4 bus schedules for NW DC.

Good to know when the red line's gonna be a glut tho!
