Public transportation comprises different transit options such as buses, rail or metros, and airways and subways. Passenger information systems play vital role for those people who cannot drive or do not have access to personal vehicles. Also, these systems are quite cost-effective, safer, and sustainable solution. The rapidly rising population density is changing infrastructural set-up.in urban centers. Moreover, rise in disposable income and shift in working demographic are another factors promoting the demand for public transport across passengers.
As per Pew survey conducted by Research Center in 2015, one-in-ten Americans (almost 11%) uses public transportation on a daily or weekly basis. The public transportation sector is undergoing a technological transformation across the globe. Further, the growing demand for advanced transit operations and rising preference toward interconnected, digitized, smart, and safe journey to uplift the overall experience drive the demand for passenger information system in public transportation. Public transport is gaining rapid momentum across urban infrastructural set-up as governments across the world are offering several transport-related subsidies to the various modes of transportation. The rising frequency of passenger journey through public transport is significantly proliferating the public transport sector; hence, generating the demand for passenger information systems (PIS).
Based on component, the passenger information system market is bifurcated into solution and services. In 2019, the solution segment dominated the market. The PIS solution is aimed to collect and disperse the updated real-time information by integrating several visual and audio components and wireless communications including Wi-Fi/LTE.
