Web site makes Cap Metro riding easy
From KXAN, August 5, 2008...
As ridership on Capitol Metro buses rise, entrepreneurs in Austin are discovering ways to make riding the bus a little easier.
Roger Cauvin created www.dadnab.com, a service that links to Cap Metro's bus schedule and will text message you all the bus information you need for travel, when he realized how frustrating it was to figure out the bus schedule.
"I'm a champion of public transportation," Cauvin said. "I think it's good for the environment and I think it actually can be very convenient as long as you have tools like this to help you get around very easily."
Here's how the web site works: You type into your message the intersection of where you are located and then the intersection of where you want to go (i.e., MLK and West to Anderson Ln. and Mopac). You then send that message to austin@dadnab.com.
