friday april 25

today i got on a bus at oxford and richmond to go home, when suddenly the bus began to talk. "NEXT STOP: OXFORD, AT ST. GEORGE... NEXT STOP: OXFORD, AT TALBOT... STOP REQUESTED." while i'm not unaccustomed to these updates in other cities' public transportation, it marked a first-time occurrence in my 10 years of taking london transit, and could very well change the whole ltc landscape if it's being worked into every bus. namely: will force me to always remember to bring my ipod so i don't have to listen to that incessant voice.
