The software accesses the Citybike Wien server, which allows the screens to show passenger real-time information on the number of bicycles currently available at each stop.
Infoscreen CEO Franz Solta said that in addition to traditional news formats and weather, the technology could soon provide valuable information for passengers based on their location.
