gridlox Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) I'm in the planning stages of building the website for our local caching group. (OK! Sorry guys, I've been in this stage for 3 months now! ) One of the things that I thought might be cool is to have a section that has a couple of the local Public Transportaion bus routes and the caches that can be found within, let's say, 1 mile of certain stops. The buses are scheduled so they arrive at each stop about every hour. I thought this would give someone plenty of time to give at least a half hearted search for the caches in that area and have time to get back to the stop. What are your thoughts? Any suggestions to improve the above idea? Would you do a cache run like this? Has anyone already done something like this that I can look at to see how they did it? Thank You for your time!

+Team Neos Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 In places where the public transporation is good, this is a great idea. I used to live in Clearwater, FL, and during "season" most of the locals parked their cars and took the bus. It would also be good for folks that need to watch their budget. Um, how to make it really useful? Most of this you have probably already thought of, but... 1) Add maps of the bus route to the page and a link to the bus schedules. 2) Have the caches shown on the bus route map (a lot of updating to do there, perhaps?) 3) Add bookmark lists of the caches along the route (easier than suggestion #2). 4) Make note of places that offer shelter/food & drinks, public restrooms. (Since you can't just jump in the car if it starts storming). Quote Link to comment
+buddles Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 hi, TeamHawaii 1981 and Blueicyrose put together a bookmark list for the Boston area for caches accessible via the subway called Charlie on the MTA. Buddles Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yeah, I think if I were going to do something like this (and I don't live anywhere it's possibl) I'd do a bookmark list for all the caches, and mention on each cache page which stop it was near. Maybe do seperate bookmark lists for different routes. Quote Link to comment
+Kacky Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 That would be a great service. I would love to see your page when it's finished. May I be on your email list? Quote Link to comment
