Solar powered e-paper displays are being rolled out across the transport system in Bahrain, as part of its smart city initiative Spark City (Gulf).
A deal was struck between London-based Papercast and the Bahrain government’s Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunication, to replace paper bus timetables with its 13” outdoor displays.
The units use e-ink technology, are solar powered, with low energy use, and work with cloud-based data management systems. They will relay live bus arrival and other travel info at stops in the centre of the capital Manama. Papercast secured the contract following a trial of its displays at the new Bahrain International Airport.
