Leicester City Council, GB makes bus services more accessible for passengers with sight loss

In uitvoering

Leicester City Council and Vista are installing text-to-talk real-time information totems at 21 bus stops to help make bus services more accessible for passengers with sight loss. The new Vix Technology totem displays use long-life batteries, meaning they can be installed anywhere and do not rely on mains or solar power. The displays also provide real-time passenger information for everyone. Funding is made available through the UK Department for Transport's Tackling Loneliness Fund.
