There's a new tool to show real-time information about Metro, Circulator, Capital Bikeshare, car sharing and more: Ride DC, which launched yesterday afternoon.
A screen around the Reeves Center at 14th and U, NW.
The design focuses on businesses that might want to put up a large screen in a store, building lobby, or other location. You pick an address and a set of transportation services, and it creates a web page at a specific address where you could point a browser displaying on a large screen.
To set one up, you go to ridedc.ddot.dc.gov, register for an account, then set up a screen. It assumes you're a business, but you should be able to just make up a business name if you want to try it out.
Right now, it doesn't work on mobile devices or (some report) iPads, but the @DDOTDC Twitter account said that an app version is coming in January.
