    Nevermind my last comment, nextbus just wasn't responding - this is grand!

    Hmm, I'm having trouble customizing for NextBus in DC. This wouldn't be the first time WMATA screws something up though. Once I finish choosing my route and stop, it doesn't do anything. I can't click on anything, just able to keep changing the routes.

    Fixed the SOAP connections, as well as some of the other connection time-outs. Hope this version pleases!

    I just updated the widget to make it work with some new changes in NextBus. Enjoy!

    I really want to use this widget, but it has proven impossible for me to configure. Every time I try to add the widget, it goes into an endless loop of "retrieving data." I've tried to add on 3 different PCs, so it's not unique to any one PC or internet connection. Help!

    Hey, I've made a mobile NextBus page for myself, but I'm not a Flash developer. I'd like to collaborate to get this sort of page up as a widget. bus.mattdeclaire.com

    Added the ability to update the status every 30 seconds from the 5 minutes previously offered.

    Version 1.0.3 introduces a user-editable field that lets you name the stop instead of having the standard Next-bus (long style) stop name.
