Real time makes bus travel easier

You probably know the situation: You're standing at the bus stop wondering when your bus will finally arrive. That's exactly what's about to get easier - with the new digital passenger information displays, or DFI for short. These show you the next departures in real time - as they actually happen. And at over 100 stops in Wolfsburg.

We are delighted that, with this expansion project, Wolfsburg is now one of the cities where modern, digital mobility is becoming a tangible part of everyday life. Lord Mayor Dennis Weilmann emphasizes: "With over 100 new real-time displays, we are significantly improving information for passengers on Wolfsburg's local transport network. In future, people on the move will receive reliable information about when the next bus is coming. This makes everyday life easier and creates trust. With this investment, we are taking an important step towards modern, digital and service-oriented mobility. It strengthens Wolfsburg's future viability and the attractiveness of our region."

A project for the entire region

The project was implemented by the Greater Braunschweig Regional Association together with many local authorities and transport companies in the region. In the end, around 460 digital displays are to be installed throughout the region - 108 of them in Wolfsburg alone.

"We are delighted that we are now bringing our major real-time project to a successful conclusion with several new and numerous repaired displays," says Ralf Sygusch, Director of the regional association.

Digital, modern, service-oriented

Timo Kaupert, Managing Director of WVG, also sees the DFI displays as an important step: "We are well positioned at WVG, we are consistently expanding our e-bus fleet and continuing to drive forward the drive transition. It is therefore logical that all passenger information is also displayed digitally and in real time at the bus stops."

The state of Lower Saxony has funded the project with around 75% of the total costs. The remaining costs were covered by the regional association and the municipalities involved.
