Feature request: delay until first connection info

Open JayBrown opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

VBBNow is great, but it always only shows the closest next connections nearby, e.g. two buses leaving in one or two minutes, and the subway leaving in three minutes. However, I'd need at least five minutes to reach the bus stop, and at least 10 minutes to reach the subway station. So it would be great if there were a preference setting to set a delay time, so VBBNow will only show available connections starting (for example) 15 minutes from now and leave out any connection before that.

Another option would be a preference setting to define the amount of info, e.g. always show all connections in the next (for example) 30 minutes.

Interesting Idea. I will look into it!

You could also automate it: you already have the user's current geolocation, and you have the geolocations of the nearby stations, and then you can just calculate the time the user needs to get there via default human walking speed. (But that wouldn't account for fast walking, bicycle use, individual buffer time to get down from the 6th floor to the street etc., so that would probably complicate things instead of making it better.)
