Do Ghost Buses Haunt Your Riders?
Transit agencies today face a unique kind of paranormal activity. Instead of rattling chains in empty stations, these ghosts lurk in the data, haunting passenger information displays and transit apps across cities worldwide. Riders check their phones anxiously anticipating a bus in three minutes, only to watch the countdown vanish into thin air. Sometimes a bus even appears unannounced, materializing at a stop like an uninvited specter. This is the infamous phenomenon of ghost buses: when real-time passenger information (RTPI) and reality refuse to align.
