- Worth noticing
- The homepage labels its three arrival-race examples as illustrative, not live; comparisons use arrival times, not total journey times.
Field notes
Simon says he built the app after repeatedly checking MTA arrivals for Olive, who would text to ask when her usual bus or train was coming. Setup, trip editing, and direction selection are described as happening on the Watch; the page says location stays there. The stated one-time fare helps cover an intermediary service for arrival data, with no subscription or in-app purchases.
