Improvements for passengers
- More reliable services
- Next-stop audio visual, place of interest and final destination announcements. This particularly benefits passengers with disabilities, infrequent travellers or passengers facing language barriers
- Route-related service information while on board - drivers can trigger an announcement that keeps passengers informed as soon as a bus goes on diversion from the planned route
iBus makes buses more reliable and information at bus stops more accurate
- Improved Countdown predictions at bus stops
- Improved response from CentreComm - the 24/7 Emergency Command and Control Centre. In the event of an emergency or accident, the precise location of every bus in the fleet can immediately be shared with the emergency services
Improvements for bus operators
- At-a-glance information on the precise location of every bus on a particular route, with the ability to take action to maintain a good service
- Detailed journey time data available, allowing bus operators to improve bus routes
Improvements for bus drivers
- Improved radio coverage
- Drivers don't need to try to identify the precise location of their vehicle to CentreComm as CentreComm will already have that information
- Automatic 'low bridge' warnings
- Pre-recorded announcements such as 'please move down the bus'
