    127.0.0.1, sir you've been on here all day.

    Honestly if they did have numbers like that though it would help me remember, especially if the IPs were set to streets. 15.17.2.32:0820

    Bus travels streets 15th and 17th from 2nd to 32nd, from 8am to 8pm

    Won't work in many other parts of the world, where there are actual street names instead of boring stuff like 15th and 17th

    Wait, that was not supposed to be the house number? That is the actual street "name"? Ooof

    Yeah I meant like this.

    10.9.42.96:0422

    Bus runs up 10th and down 9th from 42nd Street to 96th street. From 4am to 10pm (Made up route, just figured it would be an easy example)

    And that is supposed to be easier than 2 digits or something you have to look up on a chart?

    Unless the chart is readable on the bus driving towards you and you're deciding if you want to get on, yes. Step 1 for getting on a bus shouldn't be, access the Internet in my opinion. Nor should every other corner need to have signage and what not that blocks walking access and the view of drivers/pedestrians if we are going to share the same traveling spaces. I just want to see the bus, and say I can take that up 15 blocks to save the walk in the rain.

    This comment makes me believe that you would enjoy the game Derail Valley Simulator. It's a VR Train Sim that isn't as crazy intensive on hardware as Train Sim World. I play it on a monitor as I don't have a VR setup, but I am seriously considering getting the Steam VR headset now.
