Australian State Govt Plans Transport Information System
(Newsbytes; 02/01/99)
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, 1999 FEB 1 (Newsbytes) -- By Adam Creed, Newsbytes. The
State Government of New South Wales, Australia, is planning to upgrade its
public transport information system with the installation of an integrated call
center, Internet and complaints service.
The new system will be designed to provide public access to information about
rail, bus and coach travel through a number of channels, including the
Internet, street information kiosks and smart phones. The new system will
replace the Department of Transport's current Infoline telephone service and
online timetables.
The project is currently in the tender phase, with technology organizations
being invited to bid to establish and operate the transport information system.
