COMMUTERS in Chennai may soon know exactly when their bus will arrive, with the Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) beginning trial runs of real-time passenger information on LED display boards installed across the city.
The display boards are expected to go live from March.
The LED boards are part of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) project, funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), aimed at developing an integrated transport management system for MTC buses, including an automatic vehicle location system and passenger information systems at bus stops and depots.
