NextBus Helps Add 21st Century Technology to make it even better.
There are a lot of fans of San Francisco Bay area’s transit systems. And for very good reason.
The city’s Muni system with its buses and light rail, when combined with BART(Bay Area Rapid Transit), its iconic cable cars, and the ferries on the Bay let visitors and residents get wherever they need to go without setting foot in a car.
As one raving baby boomer fan of public transit, known simply as ‘The Blond’, writes in her blog:
The transportation here isn’t just practical, it’s also rich with history, efficient, and downright pretty. Yes…I said pretty. Look at the view from the T line…
She rhapsodizes about how convenient it is to have a comprehensive public transit grid throughout the city–and how helpful it is to have NextBus arrival info on your cell phone:
The city is now on a grid that brings you MUNI, the bus, BART, a trolley or the cable cars every 2 blocks. The system can be mapped from your cell phone with a NextBus feature that gives you real time arrivals on http://www.nextmuni.com. The bus shelters are all being retrofit with displays showing lines and arrival times.
San Francisco really does right by public transit as this blogger describes it so vividly. Read her blog post and you’ll capture the flavor of the city and of its colorful, unique, and pervasive transit solutions. And be sure to log onto NextMuni.com so you’ll when precisely your transit conveyance is going to arrive.
