Next Stop Announcements
Keep your riders in the know with automated onboard announcements
Next stop announcements are an important aspect of the rider experience, and audible stop information is often required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Our cloud-based announcement system simplifies the process to set up and edit announcements across your service. No manual recording or updating is required; our system is driven from a text-to-speech engine that produces high quality stop information and public service announcements.
You’ll have the flexibility to remotely set approach, arrival, and departure announcements for both interior and exterior speakers on your vehicles by route. You can also instantly push out important public service announcements, such as severe weather warnings, event information, or emergency detours. Our onboard announcement system makes it easy to keep your riders informed while on the bus.

Case study
In preparation for Hurricane Lane, Maui Bus launched an audio announcement to play on its fleet the day before the hurricane made landfall. This rapid dissemination of important service change information was made possible by GMV’s cloud-based announcement system.
