Those of you who live in england will understand how painfully annoying catching a bus is. All the reading timetables, searching their websites and waiting in the cold for ages to find out your bus is 10 minutes late. This morning I came up with a great idea and emailed First PLC. This is what I wrote: =============================== Hey there, im james a disabled person living in leeds and these days I struggle with navigation and getting about. First buses have failed me because I get anxiety whilst planning journeys and it puts me off. Timetables are really outdated in this current age where we have apps for iphone and android. I know there is a service for first buses where you can text a number and it will give you live information for a bus but its really limited in the sense that it will only give you an arrival time which may be subject to change because of delays. Its really annoying when waiting at a bus stop not having a clue when the bus is coming. It causes stress an anxiety for customers who may already be under a lot of stress. Now heres where things get interesting.. All of your buses have GPS technology which allow you to track buses at any given moment. You also use the same technology for your text tracker. I propose an idea that would benefit the whole of the United Kingdom and will increase sales and ultimately increase profit for your company and investors. Having an iphone app that will show you a live map of buses in your area will allow people to precisely plan their journeys without any problems. If I can see an accurate position of a bus on a map such as google or bing that will inform me EXACTLY when a bus will arrive which eases the stress of the customer and will prevent people from standing at the stop for ages, and especially during winter its not pleasant. The reason im asking you for this request is because your GPS technology is not open sourced to the public and we rely on you to create something to help us. Thanks for reading and I hope you really have a good think about this and consider my request. I am available to contact at graingerpiano@gmail Regards, James. Like and share if you think this is a great idea!
