The announcement coincided with the unveiling of one screen in the lobby of Toronto City Hall, with another screen installed at Metro Hall.

Andres Trivino, TransitScreen’s Canada and Latin America Manager, says, “The City of Toronto is planning to convert the city into a low-carbon emission city through the Transformation Toronto 2050 initiative, and bringing TransitScreen will help promote and inform the citizens of all the multimodal transportation options Toronto offers. This partnership will help to reduce the city’s dependence on single-occupancy vehicles.”

The live, real-time transportation displays will include transportation information and direction to all local transportation options, including TTC subway, TTC bus, TTC streetcar, TTC Alerts, Go Transit bus, Go Transit train, car2go, Zipcar and Bike Share Toronto, all to make it easier for people to choose sustainable transportation in Toronto.
