Smart buses in Győr

When the system is complete, information columns will inform waiters about when the next flight will arrive.

Passengers receive information about the next stop and transfer on board the vehicles. With the establishment of the IT system, the traveling public can be immediately informed about the changes affecting the flights both on the Internet and on mobile phones.

The vehicles will have a GPS-based on-board computer so the control panel will always know where the bus is going. Flights arriving at the intersection will receive a green signal at the traffic lights if necessary. The specialists will install the technical equipment in more than a hundred local buses, place information boards in 20 priority bus stops, and install 24 round-the-clock ticket and season ticket vending machines.

At the presentation event, Deputy Mayor of Győr Róbert Balázs Simon said that in order for the traveling public to continue to choose public transport, modern service is important. The investment makes the schedule fully predictable, as the passenger can get accurate information about the arrival of the flight, and it also becomes more convenient to buy tickets.
