SmartBus is an integrated set of communications technologies that will provide our riders with real-time bus information. These technologies will be implemented across our entire fleet throughout 2010.
Features include:
- Automatic next stop announcements on buses with message display.
- Real-time traveler information through bus tracking system.
- Real-time bus tracking information posted on electronic signs at terminals and bus stops –
and available via the web and mobile phones.
- Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for real-time and scheduled information through the phone.
Whether you're on the bus, on your way to the bus stop, or still at home, you'll be able to know where your bus is – and when the next one's coming.
SmartBus technologies will also be implemented on our fleet of Züm buses. Phase 1 of Züm goes live along Queen Street in Fall 2010! You can learn more about Züm here.
