Telargo Improves Access to Public Bus Transit with Upgraded Passenger Information Service Solution
Telargo, Inc., a leading provider of mobile asset management solutions, announced today that it has upgraded its public transit Passenger Information Service solution to indicate which approaching buses have a low floor type and are, therefore, suitable for disabled or elderly people, as well as parents with young children and/or strollers.
Jersey City, NJ, November 15, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Bogdan Pavlic, president and CEO of Telargo, said, "The number of people with specialized transportation needs is growing and public transit operators must better manage these customer groups to ensure a positive commuting experience.”
Pavlic continued, “We’re confident the enhancements we’ve made to the Telargo system will allow public transit operators to attract new passengers and increase the satisfaction of existing passengers—all of whom will be better able to move about at will, engage in social and recreational activities when desired and access business and social services when needed.”
Telargo provides public transit passengers real-time Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), which is calculated from various parameters such as current vehicle position, statistical history of trips and average speed on a particular route. Passengers can access this information through on-board and on-stops displays, (mobile) Internet or over a mobile phone’s short messaging service.
With the upgraded system, passengers can additionally access information about the arrival times of low floor buses that are easier to board. Public transit operators can customize the solution based on unique needs and requirements. The low floor type bus can, for example, be represented with a letter or a graphic icon.
