DEPARTURESlive
The digitalization of public transport networks is well under way. Connected mobility and smart cities were key trends in 2017, and will continue to play a critical role in the coming years. Smartphones have become an integral part of everyday life, and in the face of rapidly increasing passenger numbers, they have become the go-to source of travel information.
For quite some time, Init has provided its clients with an app for mobile passenger information, DEPARTURESlive, available on Android and iOS. The app shows real-time departure information for individual stops, makes it easier for non-locals to find the nearest stop through augmented reality and pedestrian navigation, enables the user to track journey progress, provides information on possible connections, and much more.
