This was developed during Bootcamp Week 6 and uses data from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and Mapbox APIs to show real-time bus locations.
Assignment Objectives:
- Generate a map data from the Mapbox API
- Fetch data from the MBTA public API
- Create map markers based on real time bus locations
- Map markers positions should update as real-time locations change
Custom Features:
- Color coded map markers
- Color coded 'bus lines' list
- Last updated timestamp
- Refresh countdown timer
- Light / dark mode toggle button
- Button and map control hover effects
- Run button status change to 'Live'
- 'OEM' button styling
Mode Button
Change the map to 'light' mode (streets-v11) or back to 'dark' mode (dark-v10).
Run Button
Fetch MBTA API data and create bus markers on the map. Once clicked, button is disabled and button text changes to 'Live'. API data is refreshed every 10s.
Map Controls
Notes: See https://docs.mapbox.com/ for mapbox documentation.
- Different marker colors for each bus
- Include update/refresh data on map
- Add light / dark mode toggle
- Make buttons look 'OEM' and responsive
- Mobile compatible
- Add color coded 'bus lines' list
This is a progression project, no further development is anticipated.
