BASED on recent experience, I look forward to the day when someone with vision invents a tracking system that will allow me and other bus-users to locate, via a mobile phone, the actual bus we are hoping to catch.

We could then make an informed decision knowing how far away it is whether to walk on for several stops, or abandon the journey altogether.

I’m not referring to a timetable as we all know how reliable they can be.

How wonderful it would be not to have to wait aimlessly for a bus that is already very overdue and possibly might never arrive.

Ah, wishful thinking.
