SF Muni Buses

I have always found SFMTA web services hard to use in terms of tracking certain routes, and Apple Maps only shows specific options depending on outside factors. This is a great place to get updated time estimates for any alternate routes/lines you might want to take instead. It would be awesome if we could set a filter view of the routes such as northbound vs southbound routes at the top of the screen.

Looking at a single line is only partly useful. Because often several lines may go from your particular location to an acceptable end point. For instance, if I am at mission and 16th and I want to go to mission and silver, there are 3 busses that would be useful. Yet I have to make an effort to see them individually. It would be useful to see all busses that stop at 16th & mission and then I can select the one I want. Most users who are SF residents have a working knowledge of the system. Having individual routes is great for reference if you’re going somewhere unfamiliar. But it is not the feature that most people use first. StuartS

Using some colors which, by the way, are not discernably referred to anywhere in the open page, it's not a way to make transit more accessible. It should not be a clues game. I can not believe you have not thought of that, so, what is your logic behind leaving out the direct reference to the bus or metro trains line numbers/letters? I am referring to the “Nearby” page. All one gets is a list with reference to the nearest stop, and the next arrivals to some end-of-line destination. There is no indicator of the bus line number, or letter, other than a color, which is meaningless if one is not familiar with those color codes.
