The next bus display screens really aren't that important. The buses

Its pretty useful to know if the next bus is 20 mins away and you could
walk to your destination faster. I've done that on a number of occasions.


I wonder how people cope at the vast majority of bus stops that don't
have electronic signs.

That could depend on the operator

real time information but Surrey ones just had timetable information
