sudo room now automatically announces last BART departures.
It should announce last departures from MacArthur station for each of the
BART directions, SF, Richmond, Pittsburg and Fremont. It will announce each
last departure twice in the window 30 minutes to 10 minutes before
departure.
Here's how it works: I hooked up a usb audio adapter and some speakers to
the sudo server, wrote a little script that talks to the BART API and set
it up to run as a cronjob that speaks the results using espeak.
The code is here:

It's all new and fragile so you probably shouldn't rely on it just yet.

That's awesome!
(Also awesome would be using the nextbus API to predict when the 1, 1R and
800 are coming at 49th/50th & Telegraph for those of us who use the bus.
Also possibly the 12 which is at 51st, I think.)

The plan was to make a system that makes only a few announcement before
BART stops running for the night so people don't get stuck here. Do these
buses all stop running for the night too? If not then a permanent "next
bus/bart" display might be less intrusive than periodic announcements.
