Wellington has finally got real time bus schedule info on electronic signs – but it’s already been hit by the mysterious disease that has been plaguing Auckland’s signs for years.
Fran Wilde said on Friday that real-time information for Go Wellington buses will be “a great milestone” for public transport because it will tell us when our bus is arriving “as opposed to when it’s scheduled to arrive.” I can’t help thinking that a more worthy milestone would be: just make the buses run on time.
The region’s real time information system is costing $9.7million, according to Mayor Celia Wade-Brown quoted in the DomPost. It’s going to provide electronic displays on 190 of the region’s 3000 bus stops.
