Train occupancy images: BT update paralyzed SBB screens

This is what the new layout of SBB ads should look like since May. However, there were problems with the occupancy indicators below.

With the occupancy indicator, you can check how busy the train connection will be on the SBB application before each train journey. Three men means busy, one man means less busy. This usage can also be viewed for each carriage on the train with a single click.

SBB actually wanted to transfer this information to the boards at train stations. This enables passengers to better distribute themselves among the less busy vehicles on the platform. But as CH Media newspapers reported, there was a hitch during the IT transformation. Apparently this extended usage screen only worked temporarily after an update, soon leading to IT chaos. Screens at train stations across Switzerland were sometimes showing incorrect information.

Therefore, the usage screen was closed again. But SBB is not giving up and wants the issue resolved “by mid-October”, according to a spokesman. Until then, commuters will have to get usage information online using their own devices. In all cases, there were no objections due to IT failure.

Big innovation in the scoreboard at Zurich HB

A change in the large display board at Zurich main station did not go unnoticed. On July 19, the order here was changed. Now the last station of a given connection is displayed first, followed by the corresponding intermediate stops.

Sorting is no longer done separately by long-distance trains and S-Bahn, but entirely by departure time, as is the case everywhere in Switzerland. (rae)
