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
"OneBusAway" link is a bit easter eggy, could link to the relevant section?
 Done
"... was also involved in the development. The MTA uses servers also  .... also" three times in three sentences.
 Done
Bus Trek could be created as a redirect here.
 Done
"and Portland, Oregon have" comma after Oregon.
 Done
"NYCT Buses" why capital B?
That's the proper name of the brand. epicgenius (talk) 15:24, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
"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
"April 6, 2012[37]" comma after 2012.
 Done
Ref 35 en-dash, not spaced hyphen.
 Done
AVOID SHOUTING in ref titles.
 Done
