MBTA Toys With Realtime Bus Tracking

The Globe reports that the MBTA is developing real time bus tracking software that will allow internet users to see where every bus in the T's system is actually located at any given time. The program is modeled on Chicago's CTABustracker, which has been around since 2006. The T hopes to unveil its pilot program soon, featuring a few routes, which will presumably lead to a more comprehensive program. But the question remains: Will the maps have a fine enough pixel resolution so that you can distinguish between the three 39 buses clustered at the same Huntington Avenue intersection? [Globe]
