Real-time passenger information infrastructure supports visibility, wayfinding, and accessibility as Toronto prepares to welcome the world
MONTREAL, June 12, 2026 — BusPas Inc., a Montreal-based provider of intelligent curbside transit infrastructure, has deployed smart stop and real-time passenger information technology at Toronto Transit Commission locations in support of TTC’s FIFA World Cup 2026™ readiness efforts.
The deployment includes BusPas SmartSign™ sites across TTC locations, along with larger-format MetroDisplay™ installations featuring 55-inch screens at two key Toronto transit hubs. Together, the technologies are designed to improve the visibility of real-time service information, support passenger wayfinding, and help riders access timely transit updates during a period of increased demand on Toronto’s transit network.
“As Toronto prepares to welcome the world for FIFA World Cup 2026™, we are proud to support TTC with real-time passenger information and smart curbside infrastructure that helps improve the rider experience,” said Victor M. Darias, Chief Revenue Officer at BusPas Inc. “Clear, accessible, and timely information is essential at busy transit stops, especially during major international events.”
The BusPas deployment supports real-time passenger information, service status messaging, rider alerts, push-button audio annunciation, and solar-enabled SmartSign infrastructure. The system is centrally managed through BusPas’ ORA™ platform, allowing transit agencies to manage content, service updates, and operational messaging from a single interface.
For transit agencies preparing for major events, network disruptions, seasonal demand, or long-term service improvements, real-time curbside communication is becoming an increasingly important part of the passenger experience. BusPas’ modular infrastructure helps agencies deploy intelligent transit communication tools at the stop level, where riders make real-time decisions, while giving municipalities a flexible communications and intelligence layer that can be installed with minimal disruption, and expanded over time at their discretion, as needs evolve.
Early public response to the installations has underscored the importance of making real-time transit information visible and accessible at the stop. Riders have pointed to the convenience of checking arrival information without needing to use a mobile phone, as well as the added accessibility of push-button audio announcements for people who are blind, have low vision, or benefit from audible service updates.
“Smart stop infrastructure plays an important role in helping agencies modernize passenger communication without requiring a complete rebuild of existing transit environments,” added Darias. “Our goal is to make real-time information more visible, accessible, and actionable for riders.”
The City of Toronto has estimated that FIFA World Cup 2026™ will welcome more than 300,000 visitors from out of town, increasing the importance of clear and accessible public transit communications. BusPas is pleased to contribute technology that supports TTC’s efforts to improve the rider experience during the tournament period and beyond.
