In July 2024, the public transport authority of the Dutch provinces of Groningen and Drenthe has awarded Surtronic a 5-year contract for the operations of 400 public transport information displays, including support and maintenance.

During the contract period Surtronic will upgrade those displays to the latest hardware and software technology. Surtronic operational support services will guarantee that the PIDS displays at the bus stops will continuously provide up-to-date travel information for the passengers.

You can find us at the FARA stand where we will be happy to show you the masterpiece Surtronic realized together with FARA A/S for the city of Trondheim in Norway. FARA designed and delivered a completely new Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) system while Surtronic designed and supplied well over 300 TFT and double-sided 4-line LED RTPI displays.

Surtronic has been awarded the contract for the design and supply of 331 Passenger Information Displays to FARA in the city of Trondheim, Norway. In Q1 2019, Surtronic will deliver 331 Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) displays to FARA, a leading public transport company based in Trondheim. FARA chose Surtronic for its excellent track record, product expertise and proven quality.

The displays will be installed by FARA in the city of Trondheim as part of a larger project FARA has won with AtB. AtB is a mobility company responsible for the provision of public transport in Trøndelag.

Surtronic will design, develop and deliver 266 TFT displays and 65 double sided 4-line LED displays. All displays will be mounted inside new bus shelters. The entire project is expected to be finalized before Summer 2019.

From urbanization and climate change to the Internet of Things and the rise of Smart Cities, today's public transport sector is facing profound changes and challenges. Surtronic believes smart passenger information solutions are a key component of a future proof public transport system.

In March 2019, Surtronic will install 12 R-net Real-time Passenger Information (RTPI) displays in Hoofddorp, a city close to Schiphol Airport located in the Haarlemmermeer municipality in the Netherlands. The maintenance and management of the displays will be carried out by Surtronic for the next 10 years.

The R-net RTPI (Real-time Passenger Information) displays will be placed at bus stops along the R-net bus routes. The R-net is an initiative between three cooperating provinces in the Netherlands and the metropolitan areas of Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam. The goal of this initiative is to have the same, recognizable, reliable and high-quality public transport in this area. In March 2019, selected regular bus stops in the Haarlemmermeer region will be upgraded to new premium stops, for which the municipality chose to work with Surtronic.

On these high-quality displays, the real-time departure times of the buses are shown to commuters. Surtronic not only provides the actual displays, but in cooperation with parent company ARS Traffic & Transport Technology they also provide the complete system including the server and maintenance for 10 years. With the use of the RTPI displays, Surtronic guarantees that the bus stops are provided with dynamic, up-to-date travel information for the passengers.
