When is the Bus Due?

Samuel. it is very easy all you need is a sender in the bus and a receiver in the lights controller. The programme will then give the bus priority.Been using it in Germany for 30 years

Whoops, I forgot to say one thing. Canberra and GPS timed buses don’t mix…especially when you don’t know when the traffic lights are changing, when there will be people getting on and off the bus…

Just before the election both major parties had a different idea about buses. Labor wanted talking bus stops that tell you how far away the bus is. Liberal wanted buses immune to traffic lights.
Looks like Labor won that battle…at least I can be annoyed at a talking bus stop telling me that I just missed the bus. Both ideas are odd, but I prefer talking bus stops to buses immune to traffic lights? how would they have managed that…give them wings???

Oskar,
$6.8 million.
As the UC student association found out at their recent press conference,if you’re going to talk figures to a journalist, at least get those figures right.
That way you’re entitled to complain when the journo stuffs them up.

I’d prefer money to the homeless too Oskar, however, I think that the very strong Senior Citizen lobby may be behind this one though.

Is it worth 7.x million to know how soon a bus will arrive
I’d much rather see the money housing homeless

ive seen this system working on the trams in melbourne but the way that buses twist around canberra streets im not sure exactly how it will accurately report times here.

mr pratt does need an editor to check his press releases before he hits send.
