Journeo drives Stoke’s travel upgrade with new deal
Ashby-based information systems provider Journeo has won a £1.4m contract from Stoke City Council to supply and support real-time passenger information technology.
The deal is part of the council’s £10m Bus Service Improvement Plan, funded by the Department for Transport.
It includes installing and maintaining Journeo’s latest double-sided TFT displays along key transport routes.
The displays will show real-time departure information and feature discreet CCTV for enhanced safety, especially for lone passengers and nighttime travellers.
Journeo will also introduce infrastructure-free QR codes, allowing passengers to scan with their smartphones to access up-to-date travel information.
Russ Singleton, chief executive of Journeo, said: “We are delighted to continue our relationship with Stoke City Council. Not only will residents and visitors to key transport corridors benefit from the enhanced experience of safe public transport coupled with real-time departure information, but our innovative solutions are also helping our customers better understand where to target future investment to get the most value.”
