Bus Stop

These were taken at a bus stop (yup bus stop not bus station). The electronic board displays the minute by minute countdown of the buses stopping at the station. Our experience shows that they are generally accurate and you can expect the bus to arrive as indicated.

It is pretty impressive considering that unlike trains, buses travel on public roads and are not free of usual challenges like traffic jams, accidents etc.








Somehow, they have done it. In fact I remember seeing the trials being done for the electronic boards more than 10 years ago. Seeing this always reminds me of my 2+ hours wait for a bus in front of Kotaraya in KL.
