Passenger Information Display Systems

Passenger information is at the heart of any successful transport system, enabling individuals to smoothly transit from one stage of their journey to the next. Whether they’re travelling by train, bus or taxi – information is crucial in helping people get to where they are going in the smoothest possible way.

Passenger Information Display Systems (PIDS) are a vital cog in this process. Previously, people relied on information desks and helpful staff members to guide them to where they are going. Today, people have been replaced by PIDS across many transit terminals and touchpoints, cutting down on staff time and making the whole process more efficient.

Who we work with

NEC New Zealand has partnered with Papercast to deliver PIDS here in New Zealand. Papercast offers a completely future-proof replacement for legacy electronic display systems and traditional paper timetables, whilst providing the ideal technology platform for smart city public transport information solutions.

In partnering with Papercast, NEC New Zealand has the capacity to work with companies and organisations across a wide range of sectors and these include:

National Government
Local Government
Transport Agencies

Public transport providers strive to increase ridership by providing better quality services and improving the customer experience. Providing access to real-time arrival information is proven to decrease the perceived and actual wait times for passengers and improve satisfaction. Digital bus stops are ideal for operators that want a more dynamic, speedy and effective way to keep passengers informed with accurate bus arrival times and other service information.
