London buses now on the hand-held

  For the future Londoners and visitors to the city never need to run for a bus again with the introduction last week of a new up-to-the-minute information service that can be accessed online, on a smart phone, and via text message.  The new service provides live bus information for all 19,500 bus stops in the capital.

Whether you are at home wondering it you have time to finish that cup of coffee, or need to maximise time in the office or between meetings, the time wasted, and getting cold, at a bus stop, should be now a thing of the past.

Director of Digital London, Kulveer Ranger, said: "Over six million bus journeys are made every day in London and this fantastic application of bus data will now enable people, wherever they are, whatever they are doing, to at their fingertips have the power to know exactly when their bus will reach any one of the capital's 19,500 bus stops they want to use, at any time of day or night. 

This technological step forward will revolutionise the way people use London's buses and will banish the need for them to ever wait at a bus stop again." www.tfl.gov.uk
