In Portland, they have live departure times on Google maps. I believe Translink implements the same GTFS-realtime open API, but the functionality is missing on Google maps.

I stand corrected, the functionality is on Google maps, for buses. If you click on a bus stop, it will show you live departure times for most buses (the same info that shows on m.translink.ca).
On Tuesday I'm going to have to check to see how accurate the schedule is for Skytrain. Do they try to stick to the schedule, or is it just a rough guide for when they would like trains. If a train is delayed, do they try to get back on schedule, or do the other trains just stick to the headway interval times?
