A new DFI display has been put into operation at the station. The LED display stands out due to its special features: with 16 lines, it is the largest display ever to be realized within the current funding project. This makes it much easier for passengers to find their way around this important junction.
The digital display informs passengers in real time about departure times, delays
and service disruptions. The installation is part of an extensive digitization project that will see more than 30 displays installed at stops in the RNN area.
"With the new real-time displays, we are making local transport more reliable and convenient," emphasizes our Managing Director Silke Meyer. "Passengers can see at a glance when the next connection is coming with real-time data. The fact that this location was one of the first to be equipped with a large 16-line device shows our determination to offer the highest quality of information, especially at central stations."
The district of Mainz-Bingen is also supporting the expansion of digital mobility services. For District Administrator Thomas Barth, "the digitalization of public transport is a core element of our regional development policy". In addition to Ingelheim, further DFI displays are planned in the district. For example in Nieder-Olm, Gensingen, Guntersblum, Bingen, Gau-Algesheim, Sprendlingen and Essenheim. Steffen Wolf, First Deputy Mayor of the Mainz-Bingen district and Chairman of the ZRNN Association, emphasizes: "Precise real-time information strengthens confidence in public transport and that is exactly what we need to attract even more people to buses and trains."
Ingelheim's Lord Mayor Ralf Claus adds: "Ingelheim is constantly evolving. This also includes modern public transport. I am particularly pleased that we can now use one of the special new DFI locations with the maximum design at the train station. It combines historical structure and modern infrastructure in an ideal way."
Dr. Christiane Döll, alderwoman of the city of Ingelheim and responsible for public transport, adds: "More than ten lines meet at the station. The 16-line display clearly bundles all connections on one surface. This eliminates long searches and uncertain waiting times. We are consistently focusing on user-friendliness and making the switch from car to bus and train even
more attractive."
The entire project is being supported by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate with half a million euros as part of the funding program for the real-time initiative in public transport. Further locations in the Mainz-Bingen district are already in preparation.
