At one time cities and towns were small and people knew
their way around. Today the scenario is different. Cities have expanded so much
that a resident in the West might not be familiar with the localities in the
East or other areas of the city. Getting around by public transport is
difficult since he has to rely on someone to inform him of the right bus to
select and the destination where he must get off. Further complicating the
issue is that there is a large migrant work force that is usually made up of
people who are total strangers. For them, getting around in public buses can be
a nightmare. It is no surprise that many people prefer to use their own
vehicles, thus adding to congestion on the streets. The bus industry does not
carry a full payload because of these difficulties.
This is where information displays on bus play a
crucial role. Anyone not familiar with the bus route numbers and the
destinations can easily pick the right bus by looking at the brightly
illuminated LED sign on the bus. Once inside he can relax inside of sitting on
the edge of his seat because the interior LED bus destination display
shows the approaching bus stand in bold letters. Even before he gets into the
bus, he can look at the buses timetable display and have a good idea of
bus routes and the schedules. Once he has bought a ticket and is waiting for
the bus on the platform a bus tracker display clearly displays the time
it will take for a bus to arrive at this particular stop.
Commuting becomes so easy. Even a total stranger to a city
need never ask anyone for any help or directions. He arrives at the bus
station, checks the bus timetable on the LED display, buys a ticket and knows
when the next bus for his destination will arrive through the bus tracker
display. He gets on to the right bus thanks to the LED information display on the
bus and once inside he relaxes because the LED bus destination display informs
when it time to get down. The system is indispensable for bus industry in each
city in each country. Each bus is packed with commuters and revenues increase.
City authorities also benefit in that there is less congestion on streets. The
environment also benefits by way of reduced pollution. People travel safely, in
comfort and arrive on time at their destinations. The bus industry and the
commuters are the biggest beneficiaries. If buses are packed to capacity,
revenue increases and with that the bus operators can introduce more buses to
accommodate more passengers and increase frequency for the convenience of
commuters. It does not cost much but the bus route destination system makes a
dramatic impact on the industry.
