Hope everyone has a nice day!
(sorry I haven't deliberately cut out your points, just to make it a little bit more reader-friendly)
I'm happy to see GNE future proofing, the next generation of your older passengers will have grown up with a mobile and this technology. Aside to that, the technology will benefit users as a whole as it will support the current destination boards at major bus stations and the digital 'gps ready' stops that Nexus have placed along key routes (take Durham Road for example) and of course there are a few across Durham also. So it's not just for your Android/Apple phone users.
Manchester, Leeds, London all have these bus countdown GPS features and I think you know our region, especially Newcastle and Gateshead can benefit from this.
