Throughout South Korea, we noticed some innovative bus and underground train timetables- okay, not the most interesting thing in the world, but it was useful and I couldn't help but believe it would be a great thing for us to adopt in the UK! We first saw one at a bus stop in Busan, which was an interactive screen that tells you of the exact current location of the next bus due, while providing an accurate estimation of what time it will arrive.
We also came across a similar system in the Seoul underground stations, which visualised all the trains' current locations by animated trains moving across the lines. We are forever moaning about late buses and trains in England- perhaps our frustration of not knowing where the bus is, why it's late or when it will arrive would be decreased with the use of these informative systems in the UK!
