Transport for London iBus

iBus oh dear. Seriously people it's not big and it's not clever; just give it up putting an "i" in front of something doesn't make it cool or guarantee technological supremacy. Anyway a story in this weeks Computing which you can read here oh no wait that's the link they give which is for the previous story, here's the one you want.

[Drivers] are having to use their mobile phones to communicate their position to their station... [Drivers] are unable to use the system’s Code Red emergency button... “Bad wiring on some buses means that every time they are started they make an emergency call,”

and the quote from TfL?

“So far the response from drivers has been largely positive,”

The technology has been provided by Siemens whom you might recall did such a good job with our passport system
