I wrote a slightly longer guide covering (in Python):

- Setting up your account
- Creating an application
- Pulling down the realtime bus positions
- Parsing the binary data
- Plotting it on a map

Here it is: [Jupyter Notebook Viewer](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/urls/gist.githubusercontent.com/timbennett/7ec739fc619459316859d3875b76a76b/raw/be8cfe689ea662a69de8b62b99a9b8a62b1df21f/notebook.ipynb)

Comments appreciated.
