Northern Power House my fat arse
I'd quite like a city that just works and is vaguely usable. Talking bus stops aren't going to do that. Actually fitting the buses with GPS, and providing the data to app developers*, OTOH, might just help. Replacing the world's most bonkers ticketing system would also be quite nice**. How about a transport authority with balls***?
* Just like they've done in London.
** They gave that job to ATOS (potential customer, hence AC). You can Google the result of that. Alternatively, you can guess the result and impress friends by being all clairvoyant-like.
*** When I complain that one of the bus companies**** is clearly not running half a contracted service, I don't want to be told there's nothing they can do (a polite way of telling me to fuck off, I think).
**** That would be Arriva, the most customer repellent company I've ever encountered (seriously, they make First and Stagecoach look pretty friendly).
