Information displays at Turku Market Square
Turku Region Public Transport Föli in Finland returned to the bus stop areas at the newly renovated Turku Market Square in October 2022 with bus stop information improved by Teleste’s information displays. The deployment of the displays to Föli was carried out in cooperation with Atea Finland Oy.
The new information displays are a significant improvement, as the old Market Square had considerably fewer displays. We are improving our passenger communications in response to customer feedback.
