The entire transit system is connected via shared information through the mobility center, enabling the interdependency of transportation modes to function optimally.
For example, it is possible to know exactly where on an itinerary each type of transit is located; drivers can communicate with the operations center to report and learn about disruptions that affect them and obtain a reliable travel time.
A sampling of the advantages:
- An updatable route map can be installed in vehicles, showing the progress of the bus, light rail system, train, etc. along its scheduled route. Riders can see where they are and where they are going at all times.
- A digital display indicates each stop, the community facilities found nearby (schools, government offices, leisure centers, shops) and possible transfers.
- Special reservations facilitate management (transportation on demand, special needs passenger services).
- Rider requests, including complaints and trip planning advice, are responded to more quickly.
