Abstract

The paper analyzes the quality of bus arrival predictions displayed in VMS – Variable Message Signs – in stops, as well as the factors influencing the use of this information by passengers. Two types of data were collected in two stops of a high frequency bus corridor in São Paulo. First, predictions displayed in panels and the effective vehicle arrivals at stops were recorded, which allowed the analysis of the quality of the information provided. Second, interviews were conducted with bus users about their use of the VMSs. Results indicate that the (objective) quality of the information, as well as the quality perceived by users can be considered good. Estimation of a binomial logit model allowed the identification of the importance of user socioeconomic and system utilization characteristics on the likelihood of using the information in the display. Users under 60 or having higher instruction levels have greater probability of using the VMS, as well as individuals using bus service more frequently and those served by more than one line, who can use the information to decide which bus to board.
