It's brewing now.
I'm going to look for my really small funnel so I can pour it down the internet tubes to you. Please place a good quality porcelain teacup and saucer in your machines cup holder to avoid mess.

So above average they could find no equal?

Well... in similar fashion, I learn that half of Australian Hospital have below average quality!

That actually makes sense.
Using "average" rather than "median", or the other way around, certainly is one of the oldest entries in the trick book of statistics.
One well known quote (I believe it is an actual quote from a Norwegian politician, but explicitly made as a joke): The standard of living in Norway is so high that very few Norwegians will ever reach it.
By average, this is certainly true in several countries (I wouldn't say it is in Norway). By median, it appears far less true: Half the population live above the median standard of living! (Great surpise!)
You've got lies. Then you've got d**mn lies, and then you've got statistics.
... Mark Twain, isn't it? Actually, I have a great esteem for statistics, by themselves. The problem lies in how they are (ab)used.

Only reason I avoid the toughie ( at least in my eyes) is to escape from next day responsibility.

... to buy a new bus tracking system, based on Windows CE 6.0... in 2018?

Pic or it didn't happen.
Also, for something like that, I would use a tried and trusted embedded OS -- ten million euros wouldn't induce me to entrust peoples lives to a windows 10 system.

How you didn't ask what made me think it is a CE 6.0?
When got on the bus I only saw an ugly tree-view of the stations, but then we got into the tunel where no communicaton, so the ugly UI decided to crash, leaving the screen with a window of some back-process log and the screen-wide logo of CE...
Also clearly visible the icon of Media Player, RDP and the bin...
No picture as my old phone can't get it with the morning sun so low...

OK, so it's a version of windows, therefore it crashed -- but winio would have crashed the bus into a bus queue, where the minister for technology was waiting to catch a bus.

Oh... We are much advanced here. Ministers not using buses... They flying around using their angle-wings...

As we have summerish, bright sun, but much lower (it seems winter already over). At morning the bus is either shining bright or pitch-dark (if rollers are down) and my 10 years old phone has no flash-light and very limited filtering...
But! I didn't payed for it yesterday, like the bus company for the failing tracking device

Not sure if this was a factor but from what I remember from a project a few years back the Motorola RFID API only exists for Win CE, most portable/hand-held NFC readers (and customised offshoots from Moto and 3rd party OEM) are built on the Moto PCBs. (Also had to use max VS2005/2008 to target CE).
If it works (well I guess in your case it crashed), they have RFID or/and barcode (options), network interface (including wifi option) and full programability, ... what's the gain from 'updating'? Nothing at all. It works fine as has done for years, RFID/barcode still very low vol data so speed is never an issue.
Ya don't screw with a winner when there's nothing more to gain. (And imagine it's the same components, PCB, software, etc for > 15 years, imagine the profit margin from doing nothing.)

It is not system to track you (your ticket and payment) - that one has nothing to do with Windows and actually works...
It is to track the bus - it displays the current location and the stations for the passengers and send the location info to some serve so those waiting at the stations can query for the bus...
The nice thing that the drivers have a similar system already in place for years - that one is based on (and actually sold by) Motorola, and looks good (no Windows their either)...
