You can also find Washington State Ferries data in OneBusAway, which is free, open source, and has just been rewritten in Swift: https://github.com/OneBusAway/onebusaway-ios

(and is also looking for volunteer developers and localizers.)

This is not a good experience on a mobile device. It could likely be fixed with a few dozen bytes of inline css.

Or.

This looks to me like the browser failing to include a reasonable default stylesheet.

Mobile browsers have, since at least the first iPhone, defaulted to showing websites zoomed way out, on the theory that the site might not have been designed for a screen that narrow. Sites that are designed to support a phone screen are supposed to say so, using the meta tag given elsewhere in the thread.

It’s great that it’s lightweight, but the information on my already-small iPhone 12 mini takes up a small fraction of my screen and is illegible without zooming in. Fixing this would take just a few more lines of CSS.

Edit: or maybe just a single line of HTML to set the viewport meta tag.

http://slashdot.org/palm was available at least from 2000 [1] to 2016 [2]. (Perhaps a year or two longer, but the Internet Archive's crawler got banned in February 2016. The current error page was first archived in October 2018.)

BC Ferries used to do this also, but have in the last few years moved to a more modern-looking, responsive layout.

TBH I miss the old-school unstyled text.

I wonder if any notable sites forgot to turn off their WAP/WML interfaces.

I don't think they "forgot" but Nextbus is contractually required to maintain a WAP site by the SF MTA (and possibly other customers).

Interesting. It's hard to even find a functioning wap browser...lots of dead links.

there are browser extensions for that
