Hmm - will the people be equally spread around the bus or will they all sit in clumps.Is there any significant skew towards one side of the bus or the other. Are all the people approxiametly the same size ? Do some of them not exist yet ? At stops, will they all want to get of the bus singularly or together. And do you need to know where the bus just was, or is this information not important to you ? Received on Wed Apr 11 2001 - 22:15:51 CDT
