[nagdu] bus shelters and the cold

[Tai Blas]

Many transit systems have apps that will show you real time schedules of when the bus will arrive so that you need not wait outside in the cold for too long. The website nextbus and accompanying app iNextBus is a good example of this. There's also a service called bongo. I suggest using Google to see if you have any similar service. Of course, this requires buses to have GPS transmitters  installed.
