<p>Manhattan now has New York City&#8217;s first <a href="http://www.wcbs880.com/pages/4984490.php?" target="_blank">real time bus information</a> as a first step in equipping the city with smart bus stops.</p>
<blockquote><p>Bloomberg and the MTA unveiled eight bus shelters with electronic countdown displays that tell riders just hour many minutes away their bus is.</p>
<p>&#8220;All 30 buses on the M34 and the M16 lines which serve some 17,000 daily passengers are already equipped with GPS locators including on-board cellular transmitters,&#8221; said Bloomberg.</p>
<p>Those transmitters send signals to the bus shelters every 30 seconds. It&#8217;s a six-month pilot program that won&#8217;t cost the city a dime.</p></blockquote>
<p>If it&#8217;s successful, New Yorkers can start hoping that they will roll out the system on the subway as well.</p>
