6256 Vix has announced the completion of a wide scale installation of new real time passenger information (RTPI) signs across London. The 1,250 signs deployed are a part of the Countdown project which delivers real time bus information for every one of the 19,000 bus stops and 700 routes in London.

Vix worked with a number of partners including Data Display and Pageantry to ensure that delivery of the signs happened ahead of schedule and well in time for the Olympics which will see a significant increase in demand for passenger information.
