Nice — super simple and useful. If anything, a feature on each Metro line page might be an A-Z menu to jump you down to a fragment identifier link, avoiding the need to scroll down and search.

Their current system at http://www.wmata.com/mobile has worked great on the Treo for months. Fast, accurate, simple.

That said, while it does WORK in IE for Windows, it looks like ASS. But it also looks like a lot of mobile sites I used on my old POS phone, so I guess the stylesheet IE loads is the one optimized for other phones.

C, there's a system like this for Metro trains available by DCist's nifty Last Call system. Very handy.

We need a text-message service like the one for google where you text to GOOGL the name of the place you’re searching for and the zipcode.

Metro should do this with the trains AND the buses. That system they set up to find the next bus at a given stop completely sucks because its voice-activated. Voice prompts on phones don’t work very well when a fire engine is rolling down the street
