Isn't this clever? The Boston public transit system will now alert you electronically if there is a delay or other issue on your transportation route. Introduced as a convenient service, of course. Just visit the MBTA web site, tell them who you are, give your email address, inform them of what trains and buses you take on what days at what times, and they'll inform you of any hitch. Fantastic!
The city is already working on a new method of monitoring cars with transponders and readers everywhere so you can pay road taxes according to how much you drive -- you wouldn't want to overpay, now would you? Now they want to know where you are all the time even if you don't have a car.
