How deep is the market adoption of smart cities technology where you live?

In Leeds, United Kingdom, the bus stops have finally been updated with digital displays that should show the next bus that's coming, in combination with a live map to your phone that shows where the bus currently is.

It's not always correct, there's some purposeful fudging of the data by the bus company as there are 'ghost' buses which are 'running based on the timetable' but aren't actually there, but others are connected via GPS, it states whether it is or not.

The UK has a slow adoption of APIs for this type of thing. It's basically in London and nowhere else in the UK which is depressing where everything is smarter and better connected. The rest of the country struggles.

I'd say there's no real other 'smart city' technology aside from potentially transport here.

Deployment of 'smart meter' technology has been mixed across the country, the implementation didn't account for poor penetration of the frequency of the communication of the gas meters to the electricity meters (I think they're some 800mhz frequency) and they fail to penetrate the brickwork, from the gas meter to communicate with the electricity meter, to them communicate to the fuel provider via a cellphone network backbone or similar. So it part fails. And no two companies use the same standard of meter apparently.

There's some vague intelligence with the lighting, though mainly timers, street lighting is supposed to be off after midnight in some areas, and it isn't.

I'm aware there's intelligence behind the traffic signals for the roads though, such as if speed detectors are aware of a car approaching the city at high speeds then traffic signals further along the route will adjust purposefully to intend to slow them down with red signals, and road signals on one part of the city are aware of the state of others elsewhere in the city, but I don't know a great deal of this. We have an 'institute for transport studies' at the University of Leeds that may work on the awareness and development of it, which is weird considering Leeds has a somewhat terrible transit system.
