The September 15th issue of 'Bus and Coach Professional' will contain a
comprehensive feature article on our system.


Ironic then that it doesn't seem to know about any buses at all.
Doesn't know any of the regular public buses that I get in London or
Newcastle.

Also I tested it with Kensington Olympia (LU) to Shepherd's Bush (LU).
Now anybody that knows the area would walk it or perhaps get the bus
between the two, but I suppose it can be forgiven for suggesting a 53
minute tube route - however it priced the journey at £6.00 when it
should only be £3.00 - it counted two of the three tube segments as
separate journeys for some reason!
