London's six million regular bus passengers are to benefit from an improved  service after Siemens won a E175mn contract from 'Transport for  London'. In what will be the largest project of its kind in the world,  Siemens will track and monitor London's 8,000 buses using satellite  navigation technology. Buses run by London's 30 private operating companies will be fitted with  the new technology over the next four years. Siemens VDO Automotive will  supply the technology and Siemens Business Services will install and  maintain it for 10 years. The new systems will provide better real-time information to passengers so  they can see a more accurate predicted arrival time at 2,000 bus shelters  around the city.
