Highly digitalized and data-driven screens, revolutionary changed the passengers‘ experiences, whereas information is customized and easily available. Applying cutting-edge technology in public transportation and taxis, turns them into gateways for data-driven communication. An interface – on which the screens and routers are running – is a data/content aggregator. It displays public- and touristic information, based on location proximity and time. Furthermore, it delivers information about the taxi driver, the city, shows a map, allows you to read the news, book tickets for museums, check-in for your next flight, watch a movie, or just browse the internet.
