Where are they?
Two points can currently be found on Queen Street; one near the junction of Friary Street and the other at the junction with Park Place. Work has already begun on a third point, located in the Hayes, and plans dictate that another two will be installed on St Mary’s Street, providing the city with a constant network of travel updates.
What else has been done?
The Sustainable Travel City project also runs a Smarter Choices programme, which encourages people to rethink the way they travel and consider other options such as journey sharing and cycling.
Visitors to the city centre can now access brand new touchscreen points to get up to the minute travel information, following a move by Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government to create a sustainable transport system in Cardiff.
The outdoor screens provide information and advice on bus services, taxi ranks, cycle parking and rail stations amongst other services, as well as providing the facility to plan journeys.
Named Smart Travel Information Points, this new technology is part of Cardiff’s Sustainable Travel City project. Collating the information together will help people get around the city, says Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning, Highways, Traffic and Transportation Cllr Ralph Cook.
He says, “It’s important that we provide the right infrastructure and information so that people know their options.”
