We have good news, and good news, and we also have more good news: you SFist readers have generated more TextMarks. So there are now additional Muni stops at which you can get arrival predictions via text-message, yay! If you'd like to generate a prediction keyword for your favorite bus stop, check out our instructions here. The full list appears after the jump, and we invite all readers to participate in the success of this fun experiment, since Muni's never going to get around to it themselves. And even if you find commuting to be boring as shit, we still love you.
And: Ariel Poler, the CEO of TextMarks, has caught wind of our DIY transit project. In a comment on our last post, he writes, "I LOVE how you are using our service! If you have any suggestions on how we could improve, please let us know." You can get in touch at ariel -- AT -- textmarks -- DOT -- com. Awesome, a company that observes its customers wishes and then accommodates them -- you might call such a mythical concept, oh who knows, "customer service" or something.
And and: you'll be delighted to hear that a Yay Area transit agency is now officially offering SMS support, yay! Unfortunately, that agency is the Emery-Go-Round. Wait, the what? It's a shuttle bus network down south.
Muni has no plans to follow the Go-Round's lead, because clearly there's no public desire for such a time-saver. Meanwhile, more and more riders take it upon themselves to create TextMarks of their own. Can an offline variant of this rein-seizing be far away? Headline prediction: Riders, Fed up with Ludicrous Schedules, Storm Muni Offices in Bloodless Coup.

Emery-go-Round South? For me in berkeley, it's a bit south, but for your SF readership, it's East!
Oh, you're right. Someone should do an SF version of that World As Seen From New York map.
Well done, sfist and readers! I knew that I was passing on the right task to the right peeps. What can I say - why do anything for yourself, when you can harness the power of the Internets (in this case underemployed SF slackers - LOL) to make tings happen.
There is also "VANNESSIN" which does what it sounds like it is supposed to do.
