You so nailed it. When I lived in NYC I used buses all the time, there was a sign where the bus stops, where it goes to, and information about when and how often it comes. Not to even compare it to bus and streetcar stops in Germany which always have a covered waiting area, with real time information displayed when the next bus or train arrives. Similar to what you showed about Singapore. Most European countries do that. One could dream ... any if those improvements in Lowell would make it easier to take a bus in Lowell. Even downtown there are many places with no clear signs, you basically have to guess and hope a bus comes by which then you have to flag down. Lots of room for improvements!
Great read and not something I would have considered before!
