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.

Famous quotes containing the words real, time, tracking and/or technology:
“It can be demonstrated that the child’s contact with the real world is strengthened by his periodic excursions into fantasy. It becomes easier to tolerate the frustrations of the real world and to accede to the demands of reality if one can restore himself at intervals in a world where the deepest wishes can achieve imaginary gratification.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“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)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
