Default Looking forward to when even more transport, and self driving cars, rely on 24x7 data connectivity

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.

Hm,

The bus stop that I used to use as a kid (and wait many hours at because the
once every 10 minutes bus did not come for 40 minutes) is completely missing
from that site
