predictive arrival system to provide real time passenger information for the
Societe de transport de Laval, subject to the company meeting certain bonding

determined by the real time position of the vehicle instead of schedule time.

The City of Laval is the second largest city in Quebec, with an area of 245 km2

"We are pleased to be working with the Societe de transport de Laval to
implement the first real-time predictive arrival system in the province of
Quebec" Said Owen Moore President of Grey Island. "Providing passengers with
accurate real-time arrival information empowers the rider ship to make choices
regarding travel schedules and greatly enhances the public transit experience,
thereby attracting more passengers and in turn increasing fare box revenue for
public transit agencies".


NextBus uses global positioning satellites and advanced computer modeling to
track buses on their routes. Taking into account the actual position of the
transit vehicles, their intended stops, and the typical traffic patterns,
NextBus accurately estimates the arrival times of the buses. These estimates are
updated constantly as the vehicles are tracked. The information is available
where it is needed most; at certain individual stops via electronic display
signs, personal digital assistants, on cell phones using txt messaging and on
the internet.


About NextBus:

NextBus(R) (www.NextBus.com) is dedicated to the public transportation industry.
Its mission is to enhance the experience of using public transportation by
providing high value information to both passengers and managers of public
transit. We provide actual arrival times, not schedules. Bus locations are
tracked via an automatic vehicle location system; NextBus processes the
information, calculates predicted arrival times and transmits arrival time
predictions to stationary and portable electronic displays and to the Internet.
Because passengers can plan to arrive at the bus stop within moments of the bus'
actual arrival time, the time spent waiting on dark, rainy nights or waiting
alone and feeling vulnerable, is minimized. Further information is available at
