The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority is building 24 new bus stops that will have scrolling electronic marquees that tell those waiting how much longer it is until the next bus arrives -- and how late it might be running.
Check out the story at the Charleston Regional Business Journal.
At $625,000 the GPS-powered system carries a hefty price, but it's still pretty dang nifty. Now if they can just intergrate that data into Google's mass transit maps.
