Crimson Shuttle

Inspiration

Ever wondered when the Harvard Shuttle is dropping by the quad?

What it does

Experience what it's like to be "quad'ed", or just make your life easier with Crimson Shuttle. Alexa will tell you all about the mass transportation vehicles rolling by your door.

In the initial version, you can find out: -When the next shuttle is arriving at the Radcliffe Quadrangle -What kind of route the shuttle is running -Whether or not the arrival estimate is based on a schedule or the shuttle GPS

How I built it
