BART is the Bay Area Rapid Transit system ... for you people terminally stuck on the East Cost, the Bay Area is San Francisco and surrounding areas. In California. Check out their bus map. It gives graphic, real-time updated information on where all of the buses on the selected lines are and an estimated time of arrival at any given bus-stop. Every couple of seconds, you can see the little bus icons advance on the map. So much better than sticking your head out into traffic in Burlington wondering when/if the next bus will arrive.
The website uses a Java Applet (Client side with database connection) to display the data without an incredible time lag (unless you, like me, try to select All Lines). I'll bet it would look better done with Flash/Flex ...
