TRANSPORT HUBS IN ZABRZE WITH PIDS DEVICES FROM DYSTEN
Goethe’s Zabrze – Transport Hub in the heart of the city
Goethe’s Zabrze, a new transport hub in the city’s heart, is a four-storey building spanning about 10.4 thousand square meters. The ground floor houses public transport platforms and a waiting room with toilets, designed to provide passengers with the utmost convenience and comfort while waiting for transport. The infrastructure, including information totems and dynamic passenger information displays, facilitates orientation and journey planning, further enhancing the comfort of our valued passengers.
On the upper levels of the building, we have provided parking spaces for passenger cars, ensuring comfort for those travelling in their own vehicle. The roof garden, a unique feature of the hub, offers a serene space to relax and admire the panoramic view of the city while waiting for the bus.
Scope of work of DYSTEN:
- Delivery and installation of dynamic passenger information system devices:
- 8 PIS platform displays (6-line, double-sided)
- 2 indoor LED screens
- 1 outdoor LED screen
- 2 PIS summary displays
- 2 information kiosks
- Connection and commissioning of devices accompanied by training for operational staff
- Integration with the dynamic passenger information system operating in the GZM area
Boards installed at bus stands offer travellers real-time information about departures and potential delays, displaying the line number, direction and departure time.
The waiting room on the ground floor of the building is equipped with two electronic passenger information displays that provide collective information and messages for passengers. Additionally, two LED screens were installed in the room, ready to display any content.
An outdoor LED screen has been installed at the building’s entrance, offering clear information as visitors approach the transfer centre.
Information totems serve as versatile platforms for displaying various types of content, including city information, thus adding significant value for travellers.
Zabrze Goethe’s transport hub handles as many as 33 bus lines, which makes it a key point in the city’s transport network.
Zabrze Rokitnica transport hub
The facility at Krakowska Street in the Rokitnica district is the second of the new transport hubs in Zabrze. The roofed building with a waiting room and service premises is designed to provide passengers with comfortable conditions when transferring between buses.
There are roofed bus stands on both sides of the building. A small parking lot and bicycle racks are also available, making the transfer centre friendly to various groups of travellers.
For the Zabrze Rokitnica transport hub, DYSTEN delivered, installed and commissioned the following devices:
- 4 external dynamic passenger information system displays
- Dynamic passenger information system summary display
- Information kiosk
- Ticket locker
The devices have been integrated with the dynamic passenger information system operating in the GZM area.
Double-sided dynamic passenger information system displays have been installed at the bus stands. These boards allow travellers to check when their bus will arrive quickly and at which stop it will stop.
An external information kiosk in the transfer centre is a source of additional information for travellers. Tickets can be purchased without standing in queues – via a ticket machine.
The Zabrze Rokitnica transport hub operates 11 bus lines.
The new transport hubs in Zabrze, equipped with dynamic passenger information system devices from DYSTEN, are now highly functional and convenient for travellers. These devices improve public transport accessibility and ease transfers, boosting the mobility of both residents and visitors to the city.
Investment co-financed by the EU
The European Union co-financed the implementation of the “Transfer Centre in Zabrze” project under the Regional Operational Programme of the Silesian Voivodeship for 2014-2020, Priority Axis IV “Energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and low-carbon economy,” measure 4.5 “Low-emission urban transport and efficient lighting,” and sub-measure 4.5.1 “Low-emission urban transport and efficient lighting—ITI.”
