'Smart Bus Information Display' Information Display Location.

The 'Smart Bus Information Display' will be installed in LED form on the glass walls of passenger waiting facilities at BRT section stations. Through this, it will efficiently display ▲ultra-precise bus location information ▲bus route-specific stops ▲expected arrival times, and more.

The installation sites include a total of 20 passenger waiting facilities: 4 at Haeundae Station, 6 at Jagalchi Station, 6 at Busan Station, and 4 at Busan City Hall Station.

Currently, the system is being piloted at the passenger waiting facilities at Haeundae Station, and the city plans to complete sequential installations at other locations by October.

The city expects that operating these displays will enhance the convenience of public transportation use, provide clean and upscale waiting facilities at stations, and improve operational efficiency of the stations, thereby increasing citizen satisfaction.

The feature of the Smart Bus Information Display is that when information displayed needs to be updated, the revised information can be provided faster and more efficiently than the traditional printed information method, allowing the waiting facilities to be maintained cleanly and elegantly.

Jeong Im-su, Director of the City Transportation Bureau, stated, “We expect that the smart bus information display installation project will greatly contribute to increasing public transportation usage and citizen satisfaction, and we plan to expand the installation after reviewing citizen feedback and usage effects.”
