Public transport

Passenger information that keeps up

Departures shift, platforms change, disruptions happen. Lumicast turns your live feeds into departure boards and alerts that are correct on every screen, at every stop.

The old way

Uncertainty is what passengers remember

A platform change announced only over the speakers, a disruption travelers discover at the gate: unclear information is what turns a small delay into a bad journey and a complaint.

The Lumicast way

Live data, on every screen

Connect your schedule or GTFS feed once, and every departure board renders from it live. When something breaks, push a service alert to every affected stop in one action.

Templates

Start from a transit template

A departure board wired for live data, a service alert for when things go wrong and a station welcome board with a live clock, Wi-Fi and wayfinding. All in portrait for platform totems and landscape for hall displays.

Why transit operators pick Lumicast

Built for information that cannot be wrong

Driven by your data

Boards bind to live feeds (GTFS and custom sources), so what is on screen is what the system knows, not what someone last typed.

Alerts in one action

Push a disruption notice to every affected stop at once, and schedule when it expires so old alerts never linger.

Hundreds of screens, one overview

See which displays are online, group them per line or station, and update them together or per stop.

Runs on affordable hardware

Android players and Raspberry Pi behind existing screens. No proprietary boxes to procure per stop.

FAQ

Transit questions, answered

Ask us anything →
Can it show our real departure data?
Yes. Lumicast connects to data feeds such as GTFS and custom APIs; the departure board template binds each row to your live data.
What happens when the network drops at a stop?
The player keeps running its content and reconnects on its own. You can see per display when it was last online.
What does it cost?
You can start for free, no payment details required. See pricing for per-screen plans at fleet scale.
What hardware runs at a stop or platform?
Any screen with an HDMI input works, driven by an Android player or a Raspberry Pi. Manage everything centrally from the browser.
Can screens differ per station or line?
Yes. Group displays per line, station or zone and give each group its own content, while alerts can still go out to all of them at once.
