Use GPS Effectively - another plea

MARTA needs to enter modern times. Some bus routes are chronically off schedule. And services are abysmal in general. So at the very least, display the actual bus location to the web.

Everybody knows that reducing traffic congestion in Atlanta would be aided by using mass transit. Here in Atlanta, our transit system is known as MARTA. With just a few simple measures, more people would opt to use the transit system more frequently. One such measure is better use of existing technology.

Why doesn't MARTA display actual bus locations to the web? (Using the GPS that's already on most buses more effectively)

Most buses already have GPS installed on them. So why not put the technology to work by displaying the actual location of the buses to the web in real time?

Marta has already invested in this GPS system. Yet it seems that drivers can disable it at will. (I may be wrong about this - but it seems to be the case)

Displaying actual bus locations to the web would:

• greatly improve the marta rider experience
• significantly reduce time spent unnecessarily waiting for a bus that is running late
• improve safety for riders
• possibly increase ridership

Please MARTA - take the final step and display bus locations on the web.
