   I was checking a bus schedule last week (had to go into the city)  and    
   accidentally discovered that that info is provided for, at the very least,    
   the M7 bus. Presumably for other, perhaps all, bus lines as well. (I think    
   it was when I asked for the map of the bus line that would show me where    
   the stops are.)   
      
   Such info has been available for subways for years, because long ago    
   the GCT branch of the Transit Museum had on display an artwork that    
   turned train position info on every line into glowing dots and musical    
   tones. I wrote down the url -- and it worked on my computer. Unfortunately    
   I lost the bookmark when the computer died.    
      
   So maybe the subway line maps now show real-time locations!
