In order to provide a more friendly bus environment for citizens, the Taichung City Government Department of Transportation has decided to test run LCD e-bus bus stop stands at Mitsukoshi Department Store & Chung Yo Department Store respectively. In contrast to the past LED bus stop stands which only display information in text form, the LCD e-bus stands are lively and diverse, contain texts, pictures and audio.

The LCD e-bus stands are especially designed for outdoor with high luminance and does not experience glare problems under the sun. It is able to display the estimated time of arrival for four bus routes simultaneously, improving readability by the public. Furthermore, the independent LCD e-bus bus stop stands not only displays eight bus routes at once but is also equipped with touch screen that allows the public to make enquiries on bus fare.

The Department of Transportation plans to install indoor Smart display at all train stations and major public places in Taichung City as an initiative to provide the estimated time of arrival of buses to the public. Thereby allowing bus information services to expand to the passenger’s starting point, providing all-around public transportation services. In collaboration with BRT being in commission, the Taichung City public transportation services is heading into a new era.
