representatives from the bus industry to invest in these systems, where possible.</p><p>
</p><p>The cost of installing and maintaining existing audio and/or visual announcement
technology on buses can place a financial burden on local bus operators.</p><p>With

will seek innovative and cost-effective solutions on how to provide passengers with
accessible information during their journey.</p><p> </p>
