Transport authorities in Turku, Finland, third have decided to expand the city’s bus network and have appointed INIT to implement an intermodal transport control system (ITCS), an integrated telematics, passenger information and electronic fare collection system.  

Around 200 vehicles will initially be connected to the system and fitted with INIT’s Evendpc combined on-board computer and ticket printer with Proxmobil which enables passengers to board the vehicle more quickly and reduce waiting times.
