Journeo, an Ashby-de-la-Zouch-based provider of information systems and technical services to transport operators and local authorities, has secured a £1.4m contract for the supply and support of real time passenger information technology and software with Stoke City Council as part of its £10m Bus Service Improvement Plan, funded by the Department for Transport.
The contract extends the provision of digital access to scheduled and real time departure information across the city’s transport network and includes delivery, installation and maintenance of Journeo’s latest double-sided Thin Film Transistor (TFT) displays to key transport corridors within the region, to further support the promotion of public transport services.
The TFT displays will include discreet, pinhole CCTV to protect the assets and improve safety for lone passengers, and those travelling at night.
Journeo will also be supplying innovative infrastructure-free real time information QR codes, which enable passengers with an internet connected device to scan a code to receive the latest dynamic scheduled and real time passenger information.
Russ Singleton of Journeo said: “We are delighted to continue our relationship with Stoke City Council. Not only will residents and visitors to key transport corridors benefit from the enhanced experience of safe public transport coupled with real time departure information, our innovative solutions are helping our customers better understand where to target future investment to get the most value.”
