| Connexionz offers a range of sign types, which makes it possible to install a sign at every bus stop. These signs address different issues posed by the different requirement of bus stops. It has been estimated that to reach 80% of passengers boarding, information must be available on at least 30% of bus stops. Connexionz has been involved in at-stop and remote-from-stop passenger information since 1995 and currently is responsible for providing passenger information at over 2,500 bus stops. To achieve this, a number of innovative approaches have been used. LED Variable Message Signs LED Signs are the most common sign type employed and best suited to busy commercial areas where there is a high frequency of services and potentially more than 10 people waiting for multiple services at busy times. A four-line sign is capable of displaying the next eight services in an easy to read and understand format. Audio StationThese compliment the visual signs and address the issues of the Access and Disability Act and provide similar information to the visually impaired. BusTVDisplays range in size from 17” LCD to 42”Plasma displays. BusTV allows other content to be displayed along with the bus arrival information. Web site RTPIThe Internet offers a low cost, wide access method of providing remote-from-stop RTPI. Office workers can reduce the time spent waiting at the roadside by monitoring the progress of their bus from their desk. WAP and SMSThis is an extension of the Internet and potentially the more wide-access medium for RTPI information. WAP provides a superior interface and user experience to SMS, and as such allows bookmarking of stops and delivery of timetable information in addition to RTPI. SMS will work on almost every phone and is by far the simplest to operate. Each SMS message has a character limited of 130 characters, and contains no formatting information, which means that users of multi-service stops could program their phone to receive all information at once.
