Digital Signage System of Public Research Paper

This makes transportation both more user-friendly and efficient for the transportation infrastructure as a whole. It lessens the chances of riders getting on wrong buses, misreading different schedules, and informs riders when a bus will be cancelled or late so they can call their companion or find a new connecting bus. It also keeps tourists and strangers well-informed about points of interest in the area, such as restaurants or local historic attractions.

One of the reasons people are sometimes reluctant to regularly use public transportation is its lack of convenience. This new technology increases convenience and makes transportation even more user-friendly for tourists, as well as local commuters. As people grow more comfortable with GPS systems, it is likely that they will be more comfortable using them in other arenas of their lives. The use of digital signage in public transport, incorporating some of the ease of a car into public transport, without a car's fuel costs or traffic delays, might reduce the use of cars in urban areas.This could act as a positive and worthy investment in transportation infrastructure in the long-term, especially for cities like New York, with large tourist populations. Perhaps in the years to come, as interest grows in technological infrastructure investment, an American company will win an award for deploying this technology in a major American city such as New York.
