        Won’t work in many other parts of the world, where there are actual street names instead of boring stuff like 15th and 17th

          Wait, that was not supposed to be the house number? That is the actual street “name”? Ooof

            Yeah I meant like this.

            10.9.42.96:0422

            Bus runs up 10th and down 9th from 42nd Street to 96th street. From 4am to 10pm (Made up route, just figured it would be an easy example)

              And that is supposed to be easier than 2 digits or something you have to look up on a chart?

                Unless the chart is readable on the bus driving towards you and you’re deciding if you want to get on, yes. Step 1 for getting on a bus shouldn’t be, access the Internet in my opinion. Nor should every other corner need to have signage and what not that blocks walking access and the view of drivers/pedestrians if we are going to share the same traveling spaces. I just want to see the bus, and say I can take that up 15 blocks to save the walk in the rain.

          A lot of places name and number their roads, but yeah I know what you mean. Id prefer it if all streets were numbered. Did I pass Moss Cove? Not sure this is Pine Street, next is Willow Road, vs did I pass 17th, not sure this is 19th and next is 20th

          This comment makes me believe that you would enjoy the game Derail Valley Simulator. It’s a VR Train Sim that isn’t as crazy intensive on hardware as Train Sim World. I play it on a monitor as I don’t have a VR setup, but I am seriously considering getting the Steam VR headset now.
