   I hate it how transit apps will have a mode that lets you say you're about to get on a bus and then tracks your trip but if you're *already on* the bus and you just want it to estimate when you'll get there this is always awkward or impossible in the UI

     @mcc yeah it’s even funnier on a train. like oh you want to go from your current location? well first uhhh get out of the train tunnel you nincompoop and walk to the station you just came from, where you will have missed the train you’re currently on

     @mcc Or get it to tell you the route. I was recently on a bus in a city I don't know and I just wanted it to tell me where the bus was going so I could figure out where to get off and it wouldn't do it. I ended up having to go to the transit agency's website to find out.
