Who it is for
For bus companies and towns with many bus stops
The problems it solves
Most stops only have a printed timetable.
Passengers want to know when the bus will really arrive.
Changing hundreds of printed timetables means visiting each stop.
- Bus and coach operators
- Municipalities managing hundreds of stops
- Anyone showing live information where there is no mains power
How it works
How the signs get live departure times
The signs use e-paper, the same screen as an e-book reader, which needs almost no power. They receive live bus positions over the mobile network, and the bus company controls all of them from one office screen. A speaker reads the times aloud for people who cannot see the sign.
