Transit digital signage
Transportation digital signage for stations and terminals
Guide riders through stations, terminals, and depots with wayfinding, service notices, and station information. When service changes, a priority message overrides the regular loop on the screens you choose, then steps aside when it ends.
First 3 screens free. No credit card.
Wayfinding you can update
Change directions, gate info, or entrances from the dashboard when the station changes.
Service notices first
Priority messages override the regular loop on the stations or screens affected.
Every screen accounted for
See which screens are online, what they are playing, and when they last checked in.
Built to keep playing
Players run from a verified local cache when a station loses its connection.
Wayfinding that is easy to change
Stations and terminals change more often than printed signs do: a closed entrance, a moved bus bay, a new ticket office. Build wayfinding screens in the editor with clear arrows and large text, then update them from the dashboard instead of reprinting. Give each screen content for its spot in the building, and use a temporary override to reroute riders during construction or a platform closure.
- Portrait and landscape wayfinding layouts
- Per-screen content by location in the station
- Temporary overrides for closures and detours
- Large, high-contrast text from a simple request
Service notices that take priority
When service is disrupted, riders need to know before they reach the platform. Publish a notice at Promotion or Emergency priority to one station, a line, or the whole system, and it overrides the regular loop until it expires or you clear it. On Standard and up, live departure times can come in through a REST/JSON data connection, or a published arrivals web page can run as a playlist item.
- Emergency priority overrides every schedule
- Target one station, a group, or every screen
- Notices that expire on their own
- Live departure feeds from REST/JSON
Depots and operator communication
Operators and maintenance crews need their own screens: shift reminders, safety topics, route changes, and recognition in the depot break room. Put those screens in their own group with a schedule built around shift starts. Remote status shows the last heartbeat, current content, and a screenshot for every screen, and offline alerts email you when a screen stops checking in, so a dark display at a far-off station gets noticed and its player restarted without a truck roll.
- Separate groups for depot and staff screens
- Shift-based dayparts
- Remote screenshots, refresh, and restart
- Status and last check-in per screen

FAQ
Transportation: common questions
Can screens show real-time arrivals?
Yes, if your agency publishes arrival data as REST/JSON. A data connection on Standard and up feeds it into a design, or you can show a published arrivals web page as a playlist item.
Can we target a notice to one line?
Yes. Put that line’s station screens in a group and publish the notice to the group.
Does it work on screens inside vehicles?
DigitalSign is built for fixed screens in stations, terminals, and depots. Onboard vehicle systems are not a supported use today.
How do we know a remote station screen is down?
The dashboard shows each screen’s status and last heartbeat, and offline-screen email alerts on Standard and up tell you when one goes dark. On Pro, a screen.offline webhook can notify your own systems.
Can it connect to our dispatch or CAD system?
There is no built-in CAD connection. On Pro, your systems can use the REST API or call an incoming webhook that triggers an automation to post a notice. Staff can always publish notices from the dashboard.
