Transport for London has just announced we’re two years away from 2,500 bus stops having the Coundown  replacement. No information what bus stops in East Dulwich will keep Countdown and IF any new ones will get it.

My day job is in telecommunications. It should be a really quick easy project to roll out countdown to every bus stop and all bus routes. Imagine how many people would choose to use bus more often if bus stops clearly showed when the next bus would be along. Combined with GLA Asssembly Member Caroline Pidgeon 1 hour bus ticket campaign we’d see a step increasein bus use.

Instead what will be offered is the ability to look on the internet or text via mobile phones. Frankly ridiculous stunt that a tiny minority will find it useful.
