Tüke Busz introduces digital passenger information displays at more Pécs bus stops

In most local bus stops in Pécs, information about bus departures and arrivals is still obtained from paper-based passenger information. The first e-paper-based passenger information display was introduced at the Strausz Metal stop on Hegedűs János Street. Now, on an experimental basis, digital passenger information systems will assist travelers at three more busy stops in Pécs, according to Tüke Busz, the company responsible for public transportation in the Baranya county seat.

The e-paper-based displays installed at the Budai station, Mecsek Áruház, and Csontváry Street bus stops towards the city center provide real-time updates on bus arrivals, general schedule information, route maps, and short text messages. Any disruptions or schedule changes can be immediately tracked by passengers at these stops. These vandal-resistant displays, equipped with built-in batteries, are powered by solar panels, allowing them to operate independently of the electrical grid. The e-paper information system is cost-effective, as schedule changes do not require the replacement of traditional paper notices; content can be updated dynamically from remote digital devices, according to the Pécs transport company.

During the test phase at these three bus stops, the summer schedule will be available exclusively on the digital displays, and paper-based information will be discontinued. Tüke Busz has placed a QR code on the stop posts, allowing passengers to access a survey by scanning it, which is also available by clicking here. The company welcomes passenger feedback and suggestions, which will significantly aid in the development of the passenger information system.
