Comments

• SIRI is noted but then never used.
  •  Removed
• You use GPS without explaining it first.
  •  Done
• "(called Subway Time),[1]" the only thing referenced in the lead. Move it to where it's discussed in more detail in the main body.
  •  Done
• "stop.[2][3][4][5][6]" do we need five citations, see WP:CITEKILL?
  •  Done
• "receive SMS information" I think you really mean "information via SMS".
  •  Done
• "affixed to bus stop signage.[7][8][2][3][4][5][6] " seven references?? And out of order.
• "phones.[2][3][4][5][6]" again. This is prevalent in this article so could we address it generally?
  •  Removed all citekill. epicgenius (talk) 15:24, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
• "The current Bus..." bus appears three times in one sentence.
  •  Done

• "a control center in East New York, Brooklyn, " this depot has already been linked earlier in the section but its geographical location is only noted this time round.
  •  Done
• "to interference from" was it more the case that the skyscrapers blocked the signals rather than introduced interference? In radio communications interference is something quite specific...
  •  Done
• " of the same name.[31][32][17][33]...." seriously, just one ref would do here!
  •  Done
