Urban Planning with a Twist: Nifty Gadgets That Should Be in Every City

This bus sign in Dunkirk, France, is as comprehensive as it gets. On top of the printed bus schedule and routes, it has digital signs. These signs display the name of the upcoming bus, its destination, and current waiting times. To top it all off, there are infographics at the very top to indicate which side displays the bus name and which side has the wait times. 

These types of signs are, thankfully, pretty common in areas where there’s comprehensive public transit. The wait time display is especially convenient. There’s nothing worse than running to your bus stop, only to be left in the dark about whether you missed your bus ride or not. Hopefully, this invention has soothed many commuting souls.
