[nabs-l] Hop stop

[Ashley Bramlett]

yes, you might have to use the old fashioned way and ask the driver.
Three other techniques I was taught are these although its less reliable due 
to traffic and construction.
First, you can get familiar with how the bus feels as it approaches your 
stop. Is it curvy? Bumpy? any speed bumps?
Second, you can time how long it takes till your stop.
Third, you can listen for differences once
you are at your stop. If it’s a transfer point to a subway station, you 
might hear a difference outside.
Now the ap is good, I've heard; do not  use a smart phone. but those aps 
should not be the only thing you use.

HTH,
Ashley

In cities which don't announce what bus stop it is, I do end up having to 
ask the driver. In Denver where I am, all buses say  the bus stops. Perhaps 
this application does have that feature and I am unaware of it…
