A free bus service that runs through Lower Manhattan is keeping riders in the loop.
Seven stops along the route connecting the South Street Seaport, the Financial District, Battery Park, the World Trade Center site, TriBeCa and City Hall now have clocks displaying when the next two buses will arrive.
"Sounds simple. But who's waited forever for a bus to arrive and thought I could have gotten a coffee, I could go buy a pack of gum. I'm going to be late," said Downtown Alliance President Elizabeth Berger.
More than 836,000 sightseers, commuters and local residents a year ride Downtown Connection buses.
The new notification service that uses GPS is provided by the Downtown Alliance.
