In other news:

*Detroit is considering a network of high-speed bus lanes to set the stage for more regional transit (in the birthplace of the automobile.)

*New Jersey Transit is partnering with Google to accept payment via the Google Wallet application, which is available on some cell phones, including Sprint's Nexus 4G-enabled phone.
