摘要

Transport for London is trialling a new real-time mapping tool at one of its stops allowing passengers to track the progress and exact arrival of their bus. Positioned on Regent Street at Piccadilly Circus' bus stop G, the screen-based system uses live data feed of bus arrival information and plots real-time GPS data on a digital map. Further information is offered on the wider transport network, including updates from London Underground and the real time availability of nearby Barclays Cycle Hire bikes and docking points. The interactive panel can give local information including maps, and directions to tourist attractions, theatres and shops. It has been developed and funded by outdoor ad specialist Clear Channel UK, which is monitoring usage and the ways passengers engage with the interface.
