Flatscreens at Parisian Bus Stops
A Line 52 bus stop in Paris, very close to the Opera Garnier (http://bit.ly/7xRu1s), is equipped with a cutting-edge flatscreen with touchscreen capabilities. The screen displays a wide variety of information about the area and public transportation services.
The device includes an interactive map for buses and subways as well as other mapped-in information including links to historical places with photos and articles as well as business with descriptions and photos–primarily restaurants and cafes.
You access the items mentioned above through a menu similar to the Windows Taskbar. The display is colorful and bright, and mainly in the evening it becomes very inviting.
The screens are impressive and very helpful for tourists and locals.
If you are in Paris, don’t miss the chance to play around with one of them (unfortunately, the only one I know is the one by the Opera). Will keep updating this post as I find more.
