Maryland Transit goes High-Tech
The Baltimore Sun reports that buses in Baltimore will soon be equipped with global positioning systems. The NEXT system, to be implemented by 2006, will provide the MTA with constant information on the location of each of its buses. Bus stops, light rail stations, subways platforms, and commuter rail stops will also be outfitted with electronic signs informing passengers when the next bus or train will arrive. The system will cost approximately $30k per bus to install.

Great. Now they will know that the buses are scrunched together at irregular intervals.
okay, someone has to make this obvious joke:
"so, at 30k per bus, this should cost MTA, what, 60k, 90k?"
