At Broadview Station tomorrow morning at 10:30 am, Mayor Miller and TTC Chair Adam Giabrone will be turning on new LCD screens for the "Next Vehicle" system, which uses GPS to inform riders when the next vehicle is coming. The TTC will be equipping 52 streetcar shelters and some subway stations in 2010. By July, all 800 streetcar stops will offer "Next Vehicle" information via SMS messages: the display of automatic forecasted arrival times of the next bus or streetcar, similar to systems in other cities. Information for buses will be coming in 2011 as TTC completes the roll out of GPS on all buses.
