Real Time Tracking Technology
Nottingham City Transport has started to introduce real time tracking technology as standard to all new buses it purchases. This enables the buses to be monitored from a central control room as well as predicted arrival times generated a bus stop displays. Furthermore, displays within the bus are able to inform passengers of the upcoming stops. On some routes audio announcements complement the visual displays providing increased information such as advice on connecting services as well as being extremely beneficial to disabled passengers. Currently, there are a small number of routes that have audio-visual announcements, including routes with new vehicles entering service, and more are planned in the near future.

“For if the proper study of mankind is man, it is evidently more sensible to occupy yourself with the coherent, substantial and significant creatures of fiction than with the irrational and shadowy figures of real life.”

The singing shook him out of his new ease.”

“Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
