TKL - (public buses) so many digital displays

[tatsit]

He brought up an issue, but the points are weak.

Think about this, a huge bulk of daily commute makes up of fixed route, meaning home <-> office/school.

Even before the introduction of such screen, commuters can find their way efficiently using apps.

Tourists too can use apps to navigate public transport in sg.

Just exactly how many benefited from such information displays?

Not to mention how useless the next 3 stops display is. In Europe, I've seen before full map/route information, way more useful then knowing the next 3 stops which I dont care.

Looks high tech sia

I think buses in other countries, e.g. Korea and Switzerland are equipped with this as well. As a tourist there, I find it useful. Using app drains battery using GPS.

why cannot expect better things when i paying more and more for my journey

question is whether do you think public buses in sinkieland overly done it. because in a single deck, there are 3 interior displays, 2 exterior displays.

yes it is useful, but places that i've seen this only has 1 display, and it is good enough.

LTA thanks you for your feedback. Lets add 5 more display and increase fare by 50%

 

[brushless]

also this one

how much LTA has spent to build and maintaining this system?

how many drivers find this very useful if not useful at all

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

Isn't this similar to buses in some European country~?

Only show you the next 3 stops.

Plus the UI for the display is shiat.

Totally not intuitive at all, need see for awhile to understand whats going on.

Many benefited - the contractors installing/supplying the panels, the contractors doing regular cleaning of the panels, contractors maintaining the panels etc

this one the info take it with pinch of salt. some times indicate jam, yet no jam. some times indicate no jam, but got jam. very slow update. rely on google maps better

depends from city to city. some will provide full route info in another slide. some just put entire route info.

[ballastic90]

Depends actually

 

[Ximple]

It's okay to be wasteful cuz when they lose money, can just ask PTC for more fare hikes.
