The scope of the delivery includes 30 metro units in the city of Manila and 12 units in the city of Naples.

Pekka Vänni, director of on-board solutions for Teleste, says: “In cities such as Manila, the availability of accurate and timely passenger information is essential for an effective public transport system connecting hundreds of thousands of travellers each day.”
