[auscompgeek]

oh yeah I made some notes earlier about this, I'll just dump them here I guess

general overview

• days of week
  • MUST account for day and week caps
  • Sunday in particular
• add trip/journey
  • show paid journey number (we need to calculate this anyway)
• must also be able to show child/concession fares
  • they're all half adult fares afaik
• show total fares for the journey/day/week
  • intermediary costs have to be calculated separately anyway, might as well show these
  • show savings with Opal
  • show % savings with Opal

selecting trip

1. select method of transport
2. select start and stop
   • bus: select route first
   • could select from map instead of list?
     • both should be possible
3. appears in list with fares
   • additional trips in a journey only shows additional cost for opal when transferring on same mode of transport
   • fares should have tooltip showing why - distance et al.

[fourkbomb]

We should keep in mind that Opal isn't necessarily cheaper - esp. if you're doing 6-8 journeys per week.

so the tooltip should also be able to show "Opal is x% more expensive"

[gnustomp]

Also MyMulti weekly, MyTrain concession weekly and fortnightly. And ferries?

[fourkbomb]

And light rail!

[auscompgeek]

Are we going to have the entire Opal network, or just Sydney?

[gnustomp]

I'd say all of Opal, but Sydney first.

intercity trains

[fourkbomb]

When we do get to Intercity trains, they have different peak periods (morning peak is 6am-8am, not 7am-9am). Fun.

[paked]

Ok, where can we get all this data from? And where do we need to start in order to get something working?

[fourkbomb]

http://tdx.transportnsw.info I have no idea how tornado works, so that might be something for someone other than me to start with

[paked]

From a system design standpoint I'd like to suggest building a (stateless) REST API, which we can then build clients on top of (ie, at first a basic web one, and then perhaps a mobile one – because I feel that would work very well with this concept).

Templating is not an option... don't even suggest it...

[fourkbomb]

Yep, that sounds like a good idea

:shipit:

[auscompgeek]

@paked Templating is always an option.

[fourkbomb]

Sounds unnecessary though...

[auscompgeek]

Do we plan to use any CSS frameworks/boilerplate? Skeleton? Bootstrap!?

[paked]

@auscompgeek #skeleton!

[fourkbomb]

Skeleton looks like all we need

[auscompgeek]

Should we have a "I know what the distance is for this trip" mode (at least for testing)?

[fourkbomb]

Probably

[auscompgeek]

It's not too late to start using the Pure CSS library, is it? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

[paked]

Isn't pure dead @auscompgeek ?

[auscompgeek]

@paked I dunno what you call dead, but a commit from 2 months ago doesn't seen dead to me.

[paked]

@auscompgeek was about to comment back amending that with a "nvm". I thought one of skeleton and pure were dead, apparently not...
