QR codes are changing the payment method in many aspects, such as supermarket, shopping mall, bus and metro. Improving customer access to real-time travel information through QR codes and NFC tags
West Yorkshire Combined Authority has added QR codes (Quick Response) and NFC (Near Field Communication) tags to 13,000 bus stop timetable displays across West Yorkshire. They are located at the bottom, left-hand corner of the timetable case and when scanned the barcode reader or tagged, will direct users to a web page on their smartphone showing real-time information for that stop.
QR codes
If you have a smartphone with a camera you can download a free app to read QR codes from mobile stores such as iTunes, Google Play and Windows Store. Once you’ve installed the app you just need to use the app reader Rakinda RD4500R to ‘scan’ the QR code, and it will take you directly to a web page showing your next bus departures for that stop.
NFC tags
If you have a phone with NFC technology, simply enable the NFC feature in your phone settings and ’scan’ your phone over the NFC symbol on the bus stop timetable. A web page will open, giving you live, real-time information for that bus stop.
Around 6,000 scans or tags are being made each week.
Yournextbus provides live, real-time departure details for every bus, as well as stops in South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and York. If real-time information is not available, scheduled timetable information is shown.
