Single option for Fifth & Forbes buses #323

A "Nice-to-have" feature would be an option in the route menu to select the 61ABCD & 71ABCD routes together (and possibly the 67 & 69) as clearing the routes and then picking them individually is a bit tedious. This would help riders between Downtown and Oakland.

Alternatively, a 61ABCD option and a separate 71ABCD would help riders between Downtown and Squirrel Hill or Shadyside respectively and place about half as many API calls as the above idea (and users travelling from Downtown to Oakland would be able to make 2 selections instead of 8).

An alternative feature could be to allow a user-defined preset... User can define the buses they want to watch. For example, I could take a 13, a 16 or a 19l to get to work, so defining those as my preset and turn them all on at once...

This is a good idea. I'll see about implementing it. As it stands, your selected buses are saved unless you clear them, so once you select them, they should stay there until an update/route clear/cache wipe.
