Know if your bus is late...

Passengers are now receiving more accurate information with regard to expected arrival times from companies in the U.S. and Hong Kong.

Transit companies can use a system involving GPS to provide location data of a specific vehicle anywhere along its route. Such data can help the company determine when a given bus falls behind schedule, and to make necessary adjustments to the schedule. Passengers benefit from the system because of information on signs, both inside the bus and at bus stops, alerting them to a bus's location along its route.

Utilizing RFID for buses in the U.S. will be nice, but in Hong Kong they should be a HUGE help – over 3 million people ride Hong Kong buses daily.
