Thanks to our ingenious inventors again. But, this time the award goes to -- NOT Japan, surprise, surprise!! Those reaping the great benefits from this invention will be pensioners and students (who else will take the bus) in Leicestershire, the United Kingdom.

Maybe the manufacturer could put this tracking system to even more innovative uses to benefit the wider population!
