New interactive information panels will help public transport users in Valencia. Passengers will be able to choose in real time the best and quickest way to reach their destination: bus, metro, tram, train or – in a near future – rented electric vehicle.

Often in European cities, citizens and tourists are a bit disoriented at bus stops: "When will the bus arrive? Can I reach my destination in a better way, with another means of transport?"

Valencia's public transport company – EMT – is applying state-of-the-art technology to inform citizens in different languages about their travel options. One such technology is a user-friendly information panel with interactive screens.

Citizens immediately see how best to reach their destinations. They obtain a complete picture about buses, metro, trams and local trains. Soon they will also be able to find out if electric cars are available to rent in the neighbourhood.
