[from Planetizen<\/font><\/a><\/strong>] With the brilliant help of graduates from <\/span>Hoboken<\/span>'s Stevens Institute of Technology<\/font><\/strong><\/a>, our local community shuttle bus (a.k.a. The Hop, formerly known as The Downtown Crosstown Shuttle) can now be viewed live on the city's website<\/font><\/a><\/strong> as it cruises along narrow <\/span>Hoboken<\/span> city streets from <\/span>7:00 AM<\/span> to <\/span>7:00 PM<\/span> (EST), Monday through Friday. If you're not near the internet, try texting \u201ccrosstown\u201d to 41411 to get a return text with the location of the bus<\/strong>' whereabouts whenever it's running, then run down to the corner before you miss it!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This infusion of technology makes our humble bus attractive to smart phone-tethered younger residents impatient (or illiterate) with static bus schedules, and allows us to confirm that the time-honored timetable is nonetheless accurate for older generations who have come to depend on the bus to get around locally. <\/span>The project pieces, assembled and implemented as a volunteer effort by computer-omniscient start-up group gurus at www.parkingmapper.com, totaled less than $500 in materials and about eight weeks of catch-as-catch-can time; they might pimp your ride too if you ask nice! <\/span><\/p>\n
