What are the biggest benefits of real-time passenger information in 2022?
As we're entering the digital-first era with an emphasis on connectivity, we need to be more forward-thinking about the ways we're facilitating a fully connected public transport experience. Commuters are looking for a comfortable and seamless travel experience without disruptions.
What can significantly enhance their experience and ensure they’re choosing the same mode of transport again and again is real-time passenger information (RTPI). It provides commuters with live information on timetables, connections, and disruptions.
How on-board internet access can encourage passengers to use public transport
It is fair to say that the internet plays a huge role in our lives. It keeps you company, offering you many options to kill time during moments of boredom. It provides you with all the information you want in a matter of seconds. It also allows you to search for feel-good music and ASMR videos to help you relax at the end of a busy day.
Therefore, it has become almost impossible to find a home that does not have an internet connection. Most pubs and restaurants have followed suit, with Wi-Fi codes in plain sight at the bar to invite guests to take advantage of the building’s free internet access. In this respect, public transport is adapting and upgrading too.
