Hey! Thanks for the plug!
I made some improvements which I feel good about...and more are on the way. For now, the blog will be a place to announce enhancements (but folks who are on the list will also get a notice from me when there are new features).
For folks who don't know about CleverCommute: people can use one e-mail address to alert many fellow commuters of delays and issues in the trip to-and-fro. In Montclair, we've been doing it for over a year...and there are hundreds of people involved. But, we only send each other mails when there is a problem with the commute (it's not "chatty").
There have been times when the list has been a big help...but we've also learned that people just like to know about problems.
Carriers like NJT (and LIRR) do a decent job with their e-mail alerts...but they've got limits and constraints...and we've got the wisdom of the crowds.
So for now, we've got an implementation that works pretty well...but I welcome your ideas for how to make it better.
Welcome aboard!
knowing to run and catch the train...or walk calmly because i already know it's late - thanks to clever commute!!
What about those of us who work close to Blmfd? Say like Broard St to Glenwood Av to Dodd St to High St to Scotland Rd to South Orange Center? Is there a way to knock any time off that 18 minute commute ? :) (Hey, 'ya never know...."
Roll on, Conductor Josh.
Josh is my hero!
