The Kartrak video was very interesting, but wasn’t the London Transport BESI bus-tracking system older? Late 1950s, and far less sophisticated.
Quite astonishing how a city with 250,000 people can be about to open (hopefully) it’s second full metro line. While we have far bigger cities with nothing but buses
The KarTrak video link is time stamped to the end of the project. Interesting evolution from clipboards & clerks to UPC & RFID.
