I don't know what's worse....

Waiting for a bus that never shows up or, by the time the next one finally rolls in, getting on it right next to a crying baby who had himself worked up into a lather. Nothing would settle him and just when i thought he had finally stopped, he let loose with a glass shattering howl and he was off again. Gahhhhh! but nothing can put me in a bad mood faster than a late or no-show bus! This fall, the bus schedule system will be overhauled. Currently when you look at the screens at the bus terminals, or call up the GoTime phone line, all you get is the schedule spit back out at you. Come the fall, they will be on a GPS based satellite navigation system so the displays and recordings will be accurate. You can then find out if a bus has disappeared off the radar and when the next one will show up. Allegedly. I can see that working if a bus is just late but what would it do if it's broken down or for some other reason, un-traffic related, a no-show? I'm going to ask my boys over in the transit office next time we have a meeting about reports for the updated Incident tracking system.
