The concept should be able to shine soon with some of these fixes.
The smart card thing was a huge disaster and disappointment. Frustrating. Apparently the goal is mobile ticketing/payment. We shall see.

If only there had been some means of checking these things out prior to the system going live. Some sore of mechanism to determine proper functionality in the month between when the lights were installed and when service started. But really, what can they do? You can only install things and pray, I guess.
MP and #1 trailing each other down Transitway again, after no bus going by for 10 minutes. Digital display at station said next MP was in 4 minutes and next #1 in 8. They showed up together in 6 minutes.
Seriously, such a bunch of strugglers.
