Buses and trains as points of light.The wonky mouthful known as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's General Transit Feed Specification is a free tool aimed at software developers who seek to use the agency's schedules to make useful apps.
But the G.T.F.S. has its aesthetic applications, too. Behold the video below (or here) by YouTube user STLTransit, featured Tuesday on Mashable, of 24 hours of buses, subways and trains coming and going, each one a point of dancing light. Like “Broadway Boogie Woogie†performed by fireflies, or something.
If you can't get enough, STLTransit has similarly represented the transit systems of Greater Cleveland; York, Ontar io; and Cincinnati, among others.
