Its a reasonably important service so having dual sims should really
have been in the design.

The next bus display screens really aren't that important. The buses
will still run without them, and they have big signs on the front
telling you what route they're running on and where they're going, so
passengers can still get to their destinations.

More important is the data link from bus to HQ so that HQ knows where
they are. That apparently went down too, and without that info the bus
service would have been a bit less efficiently managed. But only a bit.
