bird, where’s my bus? kicking off a series of realtime bus arrival signage with @birdthetallestone who sang this idea into my head. months of work to get it to this point and i am amped to have reached this milestone.

Note that the account contains other highly political/activist content that will be offensive to some (this is why I refrained from linking to it). So don't go searching it out if it is only going to bum out your day and this forum topic.
