Big Blue Bus (BBB) Transit Software Systems Analyst Benjamin M. Steers configures the new real-time arrival sign at the Santa Monica Boulevard Third Street East Bound Bus Stop on Friday, July 10, 2009. The real-time signs are installed in 4 locations in downtown Santa Monica. They are located on Santa Monica and 3rd, Santa Monica and 4th, Broadway and 3rd, and Broadway and 4th. The signs provide real-time information via the computer radio systems. Using GPS technology the bus knows where is in realtion to its schedule. The information is sent back to the office where it is broadcast out to the signs. Steers has been working on implementing the real-time signs since September of 2003.
