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 Today, people have been replaced by PIDS across many transit terminals and touchpoints, cutting down on staff time and making the whole process more efficient.
