In North America, Passenger Information Systems (PIS) started out as early real-time bus tracking pilots in the late 1990s and grew into full-fledged digital communication platforms for public transit. At first, the main goal of the deployments was to give basic arrival predictions and schedule updates, which slowly replaced static timetables. In the early 2000s, big city transit systems started using digital displays at stations and information systems on board. PIS added GPS/AVL, digital signage, audio announcements, web portals, and mobile apps over time. PIS's job grew to include service alerts, disruptions, and operational updates in addition to arrival times. PIS had become an important part of modern transportation systems by the 2010s. This change led to a better experience for passengers, more reliable service, and more efficient operations. Because of this, the North America PIS market grew into a multi-billion-dollar ecosystem of hardware, software, and services.

The North America PIS market is currently being driven by the move toward real-time information and smart transportation systems. Transit agencies are giving out information on more platforms, such as displays, mobile apps, web portals, and audio channels. Integration with scheduling, fleet management, and dispatch systems makes sure that passenger updates are accurate and on time. Smart city projects and the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) make data-driven transit operations even better. Agencies like PIS architectures that can grow and change over time to support network growth and upgrades in the future. Accessibility, multilingual support, and emergency alerts are now top priorities because they are important to customers. Open standards and interoperability make it easier to connect systems and keep vendors from locking you in. Because of this, people see PIS as a strategic way to build passenger trust, increase ridership, and improve long-term transit performance.
