In the
immediate Brisbane City to Fortitude Valley area, there must be at least 50
public bus stop starting point routes, add to that a bus stop every 500 Metres -
so imagine the number of bus stops with
in this vicinity alone!! Then comes the
maintenance of bus stops – the updating of the timetable information, printing
it out and going around and putting the correct information at the right
location.
Wouldn’t it
be great if this all could be done with a push of a button? You would be able to provide real time
passenger information to the customer advising “Sorry Bus Route Service 158 is
running 5 minutes behind schedule due to a burst water main at Indooroopilly”. Also you could update timetables, bus
arrivals, bus routes, network maps and provide public information notices.
Well you now
can – introducing the MetroSpec E-Paper Bus Stop Totems by Metromatics the
ideal solution in providing your commuters with advanced real time passenger
information.
Utilising the
latest E-Paper Technology, the MetroSpec E-Paper Bus Totem Display stands out
when in dim light and brightens when in direct sunlight and it has an onboard
sensor which recognises day and night and uses LED Edge lighting for night time
viewing. Once the information is set on
the screen it will hold the image indefinitely without drawing electricity or
any battery power which makes it a green friendly solution.
Information
is monitored centrally and updates seamlessly happen automatically to the
selected MetroSpec Bus Stop Totems using WIFI or 3G/4G Connectivity. There is the option of installing solar cells
to the top of the Totem unit so mains power would not be required. The MetroSpec
E-Paper Bus Stop Totem can be single or double sided and is available in black
and white or in colour and is available in a range of configurations and sizes.
The benefits

Customer Satisfaction with the ability to provide reliable important
information to them that it is in an easy to read, clear, concise format and
thereby providing less reliance on mobile
app devices or other websites as the information being provided would be coming
from you.

of the bus stop sites and reducing the number of "unreliable service complaints" in
