Metro Times.

I just came up with an awesome idea.

I was at a bar for a close friend’s birthday last night. I am a morning person, so I tend to go to sleep pretty early at night (usually), and thus didn’t want to be out late. And for sure, I didn’t want to leave the bar early, walk to the Metro, and find out that the next train is 18 minutes away. So I was thinking… why can’t I find this out on my cell phone? I can find this out on my desktop, and can use it on a WAP enabled cell phone (but who has one?). Why can’t I use it on a normal cell phone? Via text? It’s not graphic or information intensive. All you need to provide is the station, and all I want in return is the times of the upcoming ones.

I could flesh out the idea more… but I’m busy writing it 🙂

Anyone know a good SMS gateway?
