For the bus commuters of Kaohsiung residents, people would notice that the Kaohsiung bus system has a much stronger function recently.
The City Government is developing a bus information system to suit the commuters in order to provide a complete travel network intergrted. Further, it aims to build the best electronic travel information system in the nation. Hoping, with all those facilities, to allow the visitors to travel where and when they want.

Since last December, GPS was installed among 448 buses in Kaohsiung, which equips the city with electronic information among other cities in the nation. This travel information breakthrough has proclaimed that Kaohsiung has marched into the era of high tech. At present, it's just a phone call away to the automatic service phone number, and one would know when and where the bus is. High Tech certainly benefits to bus commuters.
For the upcoming e-era, there will be 15 new buses joining the Intelligent Transportation System in order to trace, control and service the network and operation center. The bus commuters can simply log online to take control of bus schedules.
Your personal secretary- intelligent bus station
All of the buses currently have undergone through this unstoppable e-transportation, yet traveler the information system, traffic control system, network system and operation system are still need more work. Twenty intelligent bus stations will be implement by the end of March. The passengers can get information regarding traffic conditions from the intelligent bus station. Another thoughtful design is that passengers would be able to find bus information at bus stations without using the internet.
Next time, if you see a intelligent bus station around Urban Spotlight, Kaohsiung History Museum, railroad station, City Hall or Veterans General Hospital, don't forget to take advantage of it. It allows a passenger to have more control of his or her traffic timing, thus one would be even more appreciative of travel in Kaohsiung.
貼心交通 便利城市
如果你常搭公車，你會發現最近的高雄市公車不一樣了！
高雄市政府刻正透過資訊系統的建置，改變市民搭乘公車的習慣，讓高雄的交通路網更為完整，希望成為全國交通Ｅ化最好的城市，讓初訪的旅客可以在城市裏自由的瀏覽，隨心所欲的觀光。
GPS上線 公車跟你走
去年十二月高雄市的四百四十八輛架上GPS衛星導航系統的智慧公車上路後，不但成為全國第一個將所有市公車納入動態資訊系統的城市，也代表著高雄市已進入科技生活的新紀元。現在民眾只要撥打語音專線電話，就可以知道現在公車的位置，及預估到達的時間。因為科技的導入，讓搭車的乘客更為便利！
為了邁向更便捷的「交通Ｅ化時代」，年底也增加１５輛新造公車納入系統中，讓所有公車經由資訊監控資料中心以及公車調派系統追蹤、掌控，同時也整合便民網站與電話查詢中心的服務，現在民眾只要上網就可以隨時掌握公車的動態。
智慧型站牌 你的交通秘書
目前整個公車動態資訊系統中，所有的公車全部都已Ｅ化了，除了動態資訊監控資料中心、公車調派系統、便民網站及電話查詢中心陸續建置完工，今年三月底前，更增添20支「智慧型站牌」，在結合資訊管理系統之後，出門在外的民眾只要在站牌旁就可以直接得知公車到站及沿線是否塞車等路況資訊。另一個貼心的設計就是在各站牌及候車亭，會張貼動態語音查詢電話及各站牌代號標示牌，為的是要讓候車乘客不用上網也可以查詢到站牌代號以及下一班公車預估到站時間。
下次如果你在城市光廊、歷史博物館、文化中心、市政府、高雄火車站、後火車站及高雄榮總等地方看見「智慧型站牌」，別忘了利用它，幫你計算交通時間，讓你可以在高雄市EASY GO EASY TRAVEL!
