It is 2026, and every device from every company watches MY every move, but the transit system in my city of 1.5 million people won’t let me see the real-time location of any bus.
Real-time bus locations are available, in the commercial third-party Transit app, but only if someone riding that bus is also using Transit and letting it track them.
