Metro's NextBus still working out kinks

Thousands of Metrobus riders are using new technology to help them know when the next bus is on its way, but users are still learning its quirks and the new system still has to work out some of those bugs.

Metro’s new NextBus system, which uses GPS signaling to help predict when a bus will arrive at a given stop, has been used about a half-million times since it was restarted July 1. Riders call in to an interactive system on the phone or visit a Web site to find out when the next bus will come.
