How do the electronic signs at Capitol Square bus stops work?
Two electronic information displays are now available at Capitol Square bus shelters on Main St. at Carroll St. and Mifflin St. at Pinckney St. Using programmed schedule information and live GPS location data, buses send on-time performance updates to these signs approximately once every minute. Based on the remaining travel distance to the sign/bus stop location, signs then display when the bus is expected to arrive. A sample message would read: “Route 2. Arriving in 5 minutes.” Important service messages and notes will also be occasionally posted on these signs.
