High tech buses
Today, in a growing number of communities, buses are getting high-tech makeovers that speed them past other traffic under the guidance of computer-aided dispatching systems more sophisticated than those used for air traffic control. Perhaps most impressive, information from these systems is becoming accessible to riders through simple interfaces on the Web and even on cell phones, which could allow some buses to offer the efficiency of trains combined with the convenience of taxis.
