The operating environment perceived by travellers

Thanks to digital technology, mobile phone ownership and the use of apps in various daily activities, operators can improve the quality of service of their transport networks, particularly through ticketing (pricing) and the passenger information system. The same applies to on-road equipment (stops, connections, terminus, etc.) which must be visible and accessible.
