You don’t even need that though, because LA Metro already provides the data including real-time predicted arrivals through a pretty nice API: http://developer.metro.net/introduction/realtime-api-overview/realtime-api-examples/
However… there is already a very nice web and mobile web app for doing this: NextBus: https://www.nextbus.com/#!/lametro/2/2_379_0/9269
You’ll find lots of information about this kind of stuff from the MTA’s developer site: http://developer.metro.net/
