Smartbus infrastructure on board buses

completed

Design and Construction: This project would fund an upgrade to the current computer hardware on board all buses. The on-board computers support a number of customer-facing and operational systems, including next-stop announcements on board, next-bus arrival times for waiting customers, route mapping for operators, service control, and automatic passenger counting and recording of other data sources related to bus operation or operating condition. The current hardware is several years old and runs an operating system that is no longer supported by Microsoft. The newer hardware would allow for current and future requirements to be met, such as printing barcodes on transfers to allow customers to transfer from buses to trains at O-Train Confederation Line stations
