With the emergence of new technological solutions in a diverse range of business sectors, it is important that all cities experience changes that promote the development of smart cities.
As cities develop and grow, public transport options may face some difficulties when this technological development is not followed.
Many cities, equipped with technology, are becoming examples of tourist destinations, being much sought after by the millennials.
Traditional bus shelters have suffered several changes, becoming smart bus shelters, a new paradigm of urban development already adopted by many cities all over the world!
Why invest in smart bus shelters?
In the context of smart cities, urban information supports (UIS) emerge, as is the example of bus shelters.
The integration of new technologies is making bus shelters, being an important tool for urban communication.
As well as improving the public transport experience for passengers, they contribute to creating smarter and greener cities.
Equipped with digital billboards, self-service kiosks and/or digital signage, the smart bus shelters stand out for their accessibility and diversity, being able to function as a help point in the access to urban services or as a tourist attraction.
The benefits of smart bus shelters
With the significant growth of urban areas, smart bus shelters present themselves as a key contribution to sustainable mobility, offering a number of advantages:
- Improved quality of life – Smart bus shelters contribute to the improvement of the image of cities, to their operational efficiency, and above all to the improvement of the quality of life of all citizens.
- Energy and environment – In addition to improving mobility and transport flow, they provide citizens with dynamic communications.
- Safety – Smart bus shelters are key to ensuring safety in cities, as they allow citizens to connect to emergency services and access relevant public information.
