Real Time Passenger Information
Real time passenger information displays show you when your next
bus is due to arrive.
The bus is fitted with a tracking device so the location of the
bus is known. The bus communicates its location to the central
system which calculates when the bus will arrive at the stop. This
information is fed through to the display by a radio link and the
information is displayed on the screen.
The displayed information is shown either in real time (for
example: 6 mins) or timetable time (for example 11:06). If the bus
is fitted with the tracking technology, this predicted time will
count down in minutes until it says ‘Due’. Scheduled time will be
shown in 24 clock format.
There are two types of display being used in Peterborough; flag
displays or fitted inside the shelter. Both display the same
information and will show service number, destination and arrival
time.
