Real time bus informaiton

Have you took public bus before? I like taking bus when possible. I used to ride Triangle Transit Agency buses before. One thing I do not like is to wait in the bus stop and have no idea when the next bus is coming. Sometime you wait 5 minuets, sometime you wait 10 minutes. It is not fun for waiting the bus.

Fortunately, new technology (GPS) allows real-time tracking where the bus are and home long the bus will come to your stop. Some public transportation service providers already provide this kind of service. You can get the real-time information by web, or text messages or digital signs at some stops. Then you can easily schedule your time more wisely when riding a bus.

To view some example, please visit the following site.

Very good services.

GoTriangle provides trip planner service. it is also a great service for bus riders. You just type your start location and your destination, then it will provide you a list of route options for you to choose. It is very useful when you need to take bus but are not very familiar with bus schedule.

Hopefully, more and more people would take public transportation to help our environment.
