CDTA says its mobile app for BusPlus now includes realtime information about bus arrivals. The app pulls the location info from CDTA's BusTime, which uses GPS to track BusPlus buses are at moment to moment. (At least, it should -- we couldn't get that feature to work this morning.) We'd love to eventually see this feature for regular bus routes, too.

This would be a really nice thing for Greyhound to get, too. Last time one of my kids took the Greyhound home from college, they had no way to give me a real arrival time. Basically, the bus gets there when it gets there. Not sure if Bolt Bus or Mega Bus has this feature, but since neither goes where any of my kids go to school I have no need to find out.
