TMR completes statewide solar-powered e-paper bus stop rollout

Nearly 300 bus stops have been transitioned to solar-powered e-paper versions to provide a more readable and sustainable network for Queenslanders

Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has completed the deployment of nearly 300 solar-powered e-paper bus stop displays across the state.

The new e-paper project will allow for clearer real-time information, improved accessibility with audio capability and a more sustainable alternative to paper timetables.
