I live in a city in Canada and it gets really cold waiting for the busses during the winter.

For some reason my city doesnt have an app to track buses, so I made my own (with a lot of help). Wrote it in Python, it tracks the real time location of any bus number you enter. Took a long time, but it works and now I can ping a bus and see how far away it is before leaving the house.

There's usually a handful of busses on a single route, so I sorted them by distance from my current location. It was easily the funnest project I've done
