[Md-sligo] Bus stop information helped me find the right bus stop

Sat Sep 9 01:29:05 UTC 2017

At the temporary Silver Spring stops,the information was on the inside. An
argument can be made for putting it on the outside. The most important thing
is that it is there at all and that it is consistent. Decent quality braille
is better than audio, because braille can't malfunction, unless it is the
scratch-off kind.

Hi Everyone, 
Any suggestions on where you believe the information should be at the bus
shelter. We will have Ride On  for question and answer session at work. 
Please let me know, and I will have your answers on the 16th meeting. 
Also, the new Ride On bus known as Extra, which will run on 355, from
medical center to Lake forest starting in October will be FREE for the first
month. This is rush hour bus running week days in the morning and afternoon
with 12 stops, and every 10 minutes in both directions.

What model phone do you have.  I have 10 on a 5s and the bar code reader did
not load or for some reason, does not show on the menu.

Fellow Federationists,

I wanted to mention a free app that helped me out today. I used it on the
iPhone. 

I was taking a bus today that I don't usually use from a bus stop I never
used before. 

I found the bus shelter but wasn't sure if the bus I wanted stopped there. 

The Seeing AI app, which is free, allowed me to hear the information on the
bus stop sign. I pointed my iPhone around until the iPhone camera found the
print on the sign. When the camera found the print, it read it
automatically. This confirmed I was at the right bus stop. 

This app also includes a bar code reader for newer iPhones which helps me in
the kitchen. 

Seeing AI does not replace my beloved KNFB Reader but it certainly helped me
out today. In case you hadn't come across this tool, I wanted to mention it.

Best,
Brian
