snip Shame that some of the extra £2.6bn TfL cut back couldn't have
been diverted to increasing the number of signs to routes where knowing
if a low frequency bus has been or not is actually really valuable for
passengers.

That would be too easy - this way they get to pump 12p per SMS out of
people, along with all nice money they are now making off the 0843 travel
information number - which I have to say is a dead loss having had to use it
now a couple of times.

It's almost as useful as the mobile journey planner for buses (Where you
want to go from stop A to B but don't know the exact names, or codes) or
even better trying to find disruption and where diverted buses are calling
(Like Peckham at the moment)

They could also save some money by taking out some of the masses of signs in
certain places as you say above. The datafeed to the web will be useful
*PROVIDED* it can be accessed via a mobile browser rather than enforced to a
PC browser.


I feel some more open data requests coming here
