Overview
By request, a quick how-to on setting up your own realtime monitor for ruter.no, Oslos public transit.
#
As simple as possible
- Get an old laptop
- Set it to start a web browser at boot
- Make the browser start to i.e. http://mon.ruter.no/monitor/3010314/Adamstuen/2190090
Done!

Background
Ruter has an API, so you can go crazy and implement your own client easily, like I’ve done with rutercli. But there’s a much simpler solution. They’ve got a website in the same style as their public monitors, mon.ruter.no. You can start with the link above, and find the numbers and names you need from a normal ruter.no search. You’ll also find NSB stuff there. See ruter.no/reiseplanlegger/sanntid/egen-sanntidsskjerm for more info.
