Passenger information system encompasses technologies utilized by public transport providers to deliver both real-time and static journey information to travelers across modes like railways, airports, metros, and buses. Passenger information system has developed into a dynamic, real-time system driven by wireless communications, digital displays, and GPS/AVL. Modern PIS integrates onboard computers, multiple communication channels, and central servers, including mobile apps, station displays, and onboard screens to provide accurate service updates, arrival times, disruption alerts, and wayfinding. With rising urbanization and reliance on public transit, passenger information system has become a key component of intelligent transportation systems, proven to improve passenger satisfaction and encourage public transport usage globally.

Recently, PIS deployment has been supported by trends including digital signage, multimodal integration, real-time data delivery, and the adoption of advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, predictive analytics, and IoT. These innovations improve information accuracy while supporting transit agencies in scheduling, fleet management, and operational efficiency. The passenger information system market is highly fragmented, including system integrators, technology vendors, OEMs, and public transit authorities with varied budgets and needs. The market is witnessing intensive competition centering on integration capability, reliability, system flexibility, accessibility, and multi-channel support.

COVID 19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic made transportation around the world very difficult, and the number of people using rail, air, bus, and metro services dropped sharply. Lockdowns and travel restrictions made transport companies put off or cancel plans to buy passenger information systems (PIS). Authorities had to put off upgrading technology because they didn't have enough money due to lower ticket sales and higher sanitation costs. Supply chain problems and a lack of electronic parts made it even harder to make and deploy PIS. A lot of vendors had to deal with slower project completion and lower sales. Uncertainty about how many people would ride the bus again limited new contract opportunities. In general, the PIS market slowed down for a short time during the pandemic. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market.

The In Station segment of the Passenger Information System Market is centered around providing timely and accurate information to passengers while they are within transportation hubs, such as railway stations, bus terminals, and metro stations. These systems utilize a combination of electronic displays, public announcement systems, and mobile applications to deliver crucial information about arrivals, departures, platform changes, delays, and emergency announcements.

Component Outlook

Based on Component, the Passenger Information System Market is segmented into Solution, and Services. The Services segment acquired 26.89% revenue share in the market in 2024. The Services segment of the Passenger Information System Market involves the various support, maintenance, and professional services that ensure the continuous and optimal functioning of passenger information systems. This includes installation services, system integration, technical support, software updates, training programs for transit personnel, and consultancy services aimed at optimizing system performance.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the Passenger Information System Market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America segment recorded 34.90% revenue share in the market in 2024. The passenger information system market is estimated to experience substantial expansion in North America and Europe. In North America, airports and transit agencies are investing in cloud-enabled, integrated solutions (mobile passenger alerts, real-time vehicle tracking) to enhance passenger experience and operational efficiency. Further, the growth is supported by ongoing transit modernization, fleet electrification programs, and robust budgets for smart city pilots. In addition to this, the European passenger information system market is also expanding with a heavier regulatory and accessibility lens. EU funding for strict accessibility and passenger information mandates, cross-border rail upgrades, and widespread retrofits of bus fleets and legacy rail encourage the adoption of standardized, multilingual PIS platforms and real-time passenger information services.

In the Asia Pacific and LAMEA regions, the passenger information system market is anticipated to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. This is because of increasing air travel volumes, rapid metro and airport expansion, and large-scale smart city programs, which are driving the deployment of passenger information systems and noticeable uptake of mobile-first, cloud/SaaS models. Urban transport and regional aviation growth unveils sizeable near-term spending on wayfinding, displays, and integrated passenger apps. Furthermore, the LAMEA passenger information system market is expanding with major Gulf and Latin America modernization projects, and airport upgrades, creating pockets of investment.
