In order to gather and provide a better representation of Metro’s routes during adverse weather, Metro has teamed up with KCNews to use Twitter and blogging in an attempt to let passengers know if/when their bus is running, and to find out from passengers what is really going on out there. All I have to say is: it’s about freaking time.

    Fantastic news! Now if they’d only say something more useful than "check the website", we’d maybe be onto something…

    I’ve been LOVING the wsdot_traffic twitter updates, even as an infrequent driver it’s really nice to know what’s going on in traffic so quickly. Glad to see other public systems joining the twitter revolution.
