Better bus predictions (a lot better)

In theory, one should be able to use information about the stop lights to improve the prediction.

Anyway, I really would like to see a histogram of the predicted distribution of arrival times. Sometimes I 1-sigma need to make the bus and sometimes I 3-sigma need to make the bus...

Even better, give buses priority at stop lights when they are behind schedule, or intentionally delay them when they are ahead of schedule. This is being done in a few countries and it seems to work quite well. Why predict when you can control it?
