Invalid wait for stops vs Present Smartrider. I also suspect that there is a lot going on behind the scenes with regard to coding that has now reached a 'release' phase. July 3rd is my pick for the general release. The changes they made to the system at the end of March has improved the system a lot. Invalid wait for stops vs Present Smartrider.

The doom-and-gloom predictions are more than likely wrong. That said, the softly-softly approach they've taken to introducing SmartRider makes it seem (to me) that now is an odd time to roll it out -- I mean, there doesn't <em>seem</em> to be anything different now to when they originally meant to stop the control group in February.

The only exception has been when the rear reader wasn't working on a bus - which has only happened twice and that was over a month ago.
