Never be late for your bus in Palmy again!
A Massey University computer science student has designed a website to help classmates find out when the next bus is due. Taylor Hamling’s Late for the Bus website pulls data from the regional council’s website. Students enter a travel time and preferred route to see when the next bus is coming to or going from the university
Hamling’s work has impressed Horizons transport officer Denise Webber, who said she liked its simplicity for student users.
“A large proportion of Palmerston North bus users are Massey students and staff. This web application cuts out the noise for these users and allows them to filter the timetable based on their needs,” Webber said.
Horizons will link to Hamling’s site from the passenger transport section of its own website for the next three months. Traffic will be monitored during this trial period to see how popular the application is among users.
The website can be found at http://www.taylorhamling.com/lateforthebus/

Heaps of jobs and career opportunities

Specialist Tertiary Educators
More learning opportunities
Private training establishments (PTEs) are the secret heroes of the education sector. They are private organisations quietly training young men and women for practical, fulfilling careers, raising them to the exacting standards set by industry.”You get a double guarantee [with PTE training],” says Mara Marketing CEO Graham Mair. “Not only must these organisations meet standards set by the government, but also the expectations of industry”, says Mr Mair.
PTEs took off in the 90s, although some, like the Hairdressing College, have been around in since the 1960s.
“There’s a commitment to the students’ individual successes,” says Palmerston North School of Design CEO Mike Saywell, highlighting the PTE style of smaller classes, more one-on-one time, and a more personalised education.
All of the region’s PTEs are locally owned and operated. They’ve had the time to build links with industry, which means there are more jobs for graduates, more easily found.
There are a galaxy of options available and all courses are approved by NZQA. And if you’ve left school with no qualifications, most courses are fully government-funded – no fees!
If you feel like a round peg in a square hole and are itching to get your hands on something practical, checkout some of Manawatu’s PTEs and see what’s available. There are a lot of people willing you to succeed, and they’re only too happy to help you.
