Comment on I'd like Caltrain to publish raw train dataparent

Fascinating, so I wonder how hard it would be just to put a GPS bug on the trains. These things are magnetic, you can get them to send SMS messages to a number, throw it up on top of the train car when it stops at the station :-). Of course Caltrain could do this official like but I think that would be to efficient for them.

Hide one inside the power outlets upstairs and you need not worry about batteries... Just gps reception and cell signals.

Even better :-) GPS is nominally a pain on metal roofed train cars but it probably is doable.
