You obviously don't own a phone with gps or know how to use it . I can plan a bus, plane, train months in advance it will give me a schedule from my location and arrival time.

They're still using this system and still trying to sort out the bugs. The buses are still not running on time even though they've just upgraded their PCs to 40 Mhz 386 CPUs and Windows 3.0. They've had to clone that guy's American voice.
