There's a teensy problem with Metro's new bus shelter stickers
Laurence Simon details Metro's latest oops:
Have you noticed the new stickers at the bus shelters (or bus stops when they're nothing more than a mushroom-like post that doesn't stop the rain or noonday sun) which have shelter numbers, the street intersection, and a few phone numbers for getting assistance?
I have. And at first, I thought they were a great idea. Maybe it could be the beginning of marking all stops for some kind of project involving GPS tracking of buses so you know if you've just missed your rarely-running route. Just type in the shelter number and the route number, text it to the FrankieBot, and the FrankieBot tells you that you've just missed it by 1 year, 24 days, 18 hours, and 55 minutes. Then FrankieBot says it in Spanish.
Cool, right?
Well, I thought so. Until I started actually reading the locations on them.
The rest is here.
Metro: Working hard to live up to the name on its headquarters.
