However, I do like Arriva's Wayfarer 200 machines because they update the location automatically, and this will avoid people been wrongly charged, or tickets not being accepted on smartcards, like some members brought up a few weeks ago.
GNE's will do the same once AVL is pushed out, basically there is a SIM card in the ETM so it will work just like a smart phone for location(s)
