[Colorado-talk] Automated Stop Announcements

[Dan Burke]

They were scheduled to start today.

In fact, Brent Batron and others went on a trip with RTD to demo it
earlier this month.

Automated Stop Announcements or ASA means that the bus announces each
stop as it comes up - the ASA uses GPS and voice synthesis.  If you
have been living outside of Colorado, as I have, this is kind of old
hat.  The tiny bus system in Missoula, Montana where I moved from has
had ASA for 5 or 6 years I think.
