The public transport company, Mwasalat, will install a Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) system at bus stations and stops across the Sultanate of Oman, which will initially be launched at Ruwi and Burj al Sahwa terminals.
According to an official, the project will help update users of long-distance and city buses with the estimated arrival and departure times of their services, allowing them to plan their trips accordingly.
"This initiative aims to enhance public transport services through innovative smart solutions. RTPI screens will be installed at selected bus stations and standalone bus stops in accordance with operational requirements." The tender will be opened on September 15.
Currently, passenger can track the estimated arrival time of their buses via mobile applications.
RTPI digital screens are powered by advanced technology and connected to a central system that receives real-time data from the bus, including information about locations, arrival times, and service disruptions.
The data is then processed and displayed on the digital screens at bus stops.
The screens can be designed to show a wide range of information, including bus arrival times, service alerts, weather updates, and even advertisements.
