<b>General notes:</b>

<li>This tracker pings the STM API every <b>30</b> seconds.</li>

</li>
<li>
School shuttles are mainly meant for students, therefore please give
priority to them. However, since some school shuttles do run in
great lengths (like 121E), the driver may allow other passengers to
board after a certain point. If that is the case, please respect the
driver's judgment.

<b>Q: Why emojis and pictograms for the bus info?</b>
</p>
<p>
A: It's better than

>Q: Maps outside Montreal are not loading for me? / Why am I not subject
to OpenStreetMap's privacy policy?</b
>
</p>
<p>
A: All the map tiles (images) are proxied through the backend, meaning the
web server will access OpenStreetMap on your behalf. Your data (Like IP
addresses, browser, etc.) are NOT provided to them, meaning you're not
subject to their privacy policy (Hooray for privacy!). However, to prevent
overuse, maps outside Montreal (as defined by me) will not be loaded.
</p>
<p>
<b>Q: Any future plans?</b>
</p>
<p>
A: I plan to add more schools by experimenting with data (After all, very
few schools publicize the schedule). Should there be a demand, I might add
a simple email notification system.
</p>
<p>
<b>Q: Is there a static GTFS trips.txt for these school buses?</b>
</p>
<p>
A: It's a work in progress.
