AVL was available for quite a while before the announcements/signs started working, though the same technology enabled both.

For a short time in 2012-2013 there was actually a <a href="http://thepyramid.info/random/blog/index.php/2013/01/11/go-tracker-mashups/" rel="nofollow">hidden GO Tracker feature</a> that added bus locations to the map. Sadly instead of making it public, they removed access as soon as they noticed people using it.Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813811785176016121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-82489941226936220742016-03-30T19:45:48.382-04:002016-03-30T19:45:48.382-04:00@G Sorry, but you're incorrect.

The technology to enable bus tracking was added with INIT CAD/AVL (when digital signs and announcements started on buses).

They just need to link it to a damn website. Apparently this is way too difficult for GO Transit to figure out.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160376382277488872noreply@blogger.com
