New System on Buses: Screens Show How Many Passengers Did Not Validate
Published
Electra Afikim has introduced a new system on its buses in Israel. The system displays on screens in real time how many passengers have validated their tickets and how many have not. This is the first step of its kind on buses in Israel.
The goal of the move is to raise awareness of the phenomenon of riding without paying. The company wants passengers to see the numbers with their own eyes and think about their behavior. The screens show this information throughout the entire ride, so that every passenger can see it.
According to the published information, the system is meant to encourage passengers to validate their ticket every time they board a bus. The company hopes that this will reduce the number of passengers who do not pay for the ride. The company has not yet specified what the results of the system will be.
The new move is drawing public attention. Many people see it as a simple and painless way to remind passengers of their obligation to pay. In the coming weeks, it will be examined whether the system affects passengers' behavior.
