Smart bus displays start popping up across North Lincolnshire

Bus stops in North Lincolnshire are getting a tech upgrade, with new digital displays being installed to make catching the bus a little easier. These screens display live arrival times, full timetables, and alerts for service changes, reducing guesswork for passengers.

The first 49 displays are rolling out across towns and villages, including Scunthorpe, Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber, Epworth, Broughton, Barrow-upon-Humber, and Haxey. Each unit is battery-powered, using low-energy e-paper technology, and features both 13- and 23-inch screen sizes. They’re also equipped with text-to-speech functionality, making the information accessible for visually impaired passengers.

The project is funded through the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) and is part of a broader initiative to enhance public transportation infrastructure across the region. More displays are expected in the coming months as part of the first phase.
