Santa Fe via Willow Posted October 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2010 The MTA needs this check it outthis is the CTA out of chicago http://www.ctabustracker.com/bustime/home.jsp :cool: Our should absolutely do this. Improve on it even. The CTA is Chicagoland's equivalent, analogue &/or counterpart of (NYCT). Metra is Chicagoland's MetroNorth & LIRR simultaneously. Pace Bus is Chicagoland's counterpart of LI Bus & Westchester & Rockland bus routes. Btw, I've NEVER been to Chicago:( Long Beach Transit (CA) is, technologically speaking, way ahead of our . But backwards in other ways. LBT has airport style computerized screens at the Long Beach Transit Mall (& some bus stops) giving ETAs, arrivals, departures & status of buses. IE: 61 arriving in 5 minutes. I`ve been a lazy poster in some ways lately:( I'll describe LBT in detail down on the RTS board when I get around to it. Ditto for my thoughts & ideas on bus & other mass transit, for SI, & other places. Chicagoland & Long Beach (CA) can do these things. Why is our content to be left behind in the dust technologically?

East New York Posted October 1, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 1, 2010 It's pretty much the same as ours. Just a little different, and it's made by the same company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8Hou Posted October 1, 2010 Share #6 Posted October 1, 2010 we already have and was a big waste of money. This time, MTA did not pay. Cleaver Devices just send them free trial which works well.... unlike Siemens that it fail horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buswizard Posted October 1, 2010 Share #7 Posted October 1, 2010 Philadelphia has BusView, which is similar, and it, too, seems like a waste, as it has been a demo for like...forever. Only two routes (33 and 109) are in this prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceizwild Posted October 1, 2010 Share #8 Posted October 1, 2010 too bad we'll never see it expanded. Rather than buy something that works, the MTA has decided to build it themselves with the help of City College and Columbia U interns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous85 Posted October 8, 2010 Share #11 Posted October 8, 2010 Yes, I am serious http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/21/giving-interns-a-shot-and-paying-for-the-flu-fight/ I'm all for giving Interns a shot, I actually commend the MTA for that, that's what you should do. But why wait until the 9th inning to do this. Now let's just hope it works, quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceizwild Posted October 8, 2010 Share #12 Posted October 8, 2010 Define "work." MTA defines works as: "While this may eventually mean riders will have access to the location of their bus, they won't have access to arrival times." http://nyunews.com/news/2010/08/08/09gps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
