Harald Fritz with Webtech Wireless tells CHSJ news the GPS tracks the bus every 50 meters, giving you an update almost every 10 seconds on where your bus is and how soon it will reach you.
He says people won't need to stand at the curb in the heat or the cold anymore waiting for the bus, they can just go online or use their smart phones to see exactly when the bus is coming.
Fritz says Saint John joins 80 other transit agencies using the technology across North America, including Washington, Toronto and San Fransisco.
