Rampo, New York, United States
The Transport of Rockland, in New York installed equipment on three of its 27 buses to automatically announce “next stop” destinations and display on-board route information to assist travelers in unfamiliar areas. The cost to equip each bus was about $7,000. At each bus stop the system automatically announced, in two languages, the location of the next stop and then displayed route destination information on an electronic message sign (2-inch text) located at the front of each bus. On-board global positional systems (GPS) were used to track the location of each bus, and ensured the automated announcements were accurate.
