Problems With Roosevelt Island Next Bus Red Bus GPS Tracking System Today - Not Working

A reader sent in the image above indicating that there were problems with the Roosevelt Island Next Bus Red Bus GPS Tracking System this morning at 9:53 in front of the Good Shepherd Chapel. It was not working.

I tried the Next Bus prediction for the same stop at 1:30 PM and it still is not working either at the Good Shepherd Chapel or for any of the Roosevelt Island stops.

In order for the system to be of use, it must be absolutely reliable and so far today it is not.

More here on the Roosevelt Island Red Bus Next Bus GPS Tracking System.

UPDATE 2:30 PM - RIOC Director Jonathan Kalkin looked into the problem and reports:

Already notified NEXTBUS about the problem. Notified RIOC as well. Please inform your readers that if they see any problem to email website@nextbus.com I am working with them on a number of issues before we go live with the LED signs.

and:

System is now back online. Problem solved.

Wow - if only all our problems were so easily solved!
