What if there was a way to make waiting for the bus a lot easier? Metro*Now, a grant project, does this by utilizing off-the-shelf hardware and open source software. Using a tablet display, you just click on any bus stop and see buses arriving at that selected stop in real-time.
According to People?'s Liberty grantee and University of Cincinnati Department of Geography Ph.D. student , the first tablet display is up at Market Wines in Findlay Market and three more were installed last week in Over-the-Rhine, Clifton and Walnut Hills.
Daniel Schleith joins us along with fellow grantee, attorney, founder and board member Brad Thomas, and Cincinnati Metro/SORTA Public Relations Manager Brandy Jones to discuss Metro*Now and the Cincinnati transportation system.
