There's more computational power and storage than that in the pockets of the passengers of a city bus.
- jolmg 7y agoMy phone has 2GB of RAM. That bus would need 500 such phones in the pockets of passengers to have the around same amount of RAM. Storage-wise, I have ~140GB total storage. I think that's above average, but that bus would still need around 100 such phones. I don't know how the buses are in your city. In mine, even when people are packed like sardines, I don't think we get near those numbers.
- cesarb 7y agoA ferry, then. The ferry in my city carries 2000 passengers when it's full (and it's always full in the rush hour, with one ferry leaving every 10 minutes). Assuming every passenger has a phone, and each phone has only 2GB of RAM, it's already around the 4TB mark.
- jandrese 7y agoYour phone is old and behind the times. That said your numbers are still roughly correct. I don't think you can reasonably fit 200 people in a city bus, even one of those English double decker busses.
- toyg 7y agoMedium-sized city buses can hold about 40-50 people, double-deckers go just above 100 if i remember correctly, but nowhere near 150.
