Thanks for the link to this. Very cool! While the OP describes a crowd-sourced solution, this seems to be a setup where 1 GPS is attached per vehicle. On seeing this, I have a reaction that I'd like to share. Someone at this University had vision. They seem to have less than 20 buses in their fleet. However, we're still talking about a serious investment (It isn't just the phones, it is also data plans. They might be using their campus wifi network which would significantly lower their costs). I've tried doing this in other places some time ago. However, it was impossible to get anyone to invest in such a thing. What do you do when you are in this situation? I've done mock-ups, buying initial hardware with my own $$, but still. I guess in our society, pretty much everything comes down to economic value. On one hand, it makes sense. On the other, it makes me sad. </rant>
