Clear, Reliable Information for Every Rider
Connectpoint’s Digital Bus Stop® displays, enabled by E Ink’s ePaper technology, offer exceptional readability in full sunlight, low light, and wide viewing angles. Because ePaper is bistable, each image remains visible without constant power, enabling solar-powered installations that run for weeks on a single charge.
Riders benefit from:
- Real-time arrival and service updates
- High-contrast displays for easy viewing from any angle
- Lower light pollution
- Features like text-to-speech and ADA-friendly layouts
- Exceptional clarity in direct sunlight
The result is a calmer, more informed passenger journey, especially for riders who depend on accurate updates to make connections and plan their day.
Smarter, More Sustainable Deployments for Agencies
For transit agencies, Connectpoint ePaper signage offers major cost and operational benefits by using minimal power, supporting solar operation, and eliminating the need for costly trenching or electrical work. These durable displays enable cloud-based remote management, rapid service updates, and low-maintenance performance even in extreme weather. As a result, agencies can update displays across their network instantly, improving service quality while reducing call-center demand and rider complaints.
