BMA upgrades new bus stops, targets 1,100 this year, almost half of them come with digital signs, wait for the car, don't guess - know the time of the car!

Bangkok's spokesman, Ekra Amrapal, revealed that Bangkok is moving forward to modernize the "bus stops" throughout the city in a large way, easy to use, and answer more urban life, both car lines, routes, to the time of the car to finish at a single stop. This development covers two types of bus stops, the first of which is a new type of bus stop (improved from the original stop) and a digital bus stop, so that citizens and tourists can access travel information more conveniently, quickly and accurately than ever. Today, the BMA It has approximately 5,199 active bus stops and is undergoing upgrades totaling more than 1,100 stops divided into 600 new types of bus stops and 500 digital bus stops.

New sign. Easy to read. Don't stand confused anymore.

The new-look bus stops are designed to be "easy to understand from first sight" with gimmicks that make travel more convenient, such as

* Tell me the car line + the route is clear. Don't guess.

* There is a walking map, know where you are, where to walk next

* Includes more than 30 nearby landmark points

* Space-based design, lots of cars - little cars are easy to read too

All of this as renovations began to improve from the original signage in key locations throughout the city, business districts, city centers, main streets, and dense dotted neighborhoods.

Digital sign. Come when you know!

Another step in the way is the digital bus stop that allows waiting for the car to "no longer have to win."

* Tell me the bus time will arrive in real time

* Connect data to both public and private major camp operators.

The system is currently being gradually installed and developed. It is expected to begin to see clearly in May and complete its plans by '69. This project is due to a partnership between Bangkok, Mayday Grab and Tourism Authority of Thailand, together supporting both budget, technology and travel information.

"This bus stop upgrade is not just to" change signs, "but to change the travel experience of Bangkok people to plan easier, reduce confusion about car lines, and make travel connections more fluid. From now on... waiting for buses in Bangkok will no longer be a guess," a BMA spokesman said.
