No Metro for Palm?

Stops - The Bus Schedule Database for Palm OS Handhelds may be a useful stopgap for the apparent lack of a Seattle-based resource publishing Metro schedules in a palm-readable format.

C’mon, Metro! You already do a great job with getting the data online. Give us some RSS or Atom or something that can get into an AvantGo channel, at least!

Grumble.

Jonh appears to have already written a scraper, but it’s a personal tool and oriented to PDF.

QuickTrip may also be a bit less daunting to set up and use than Stops, I think.

Still, what I really need, I suppose, is a table-viewing application for my decrepit old Vx.
