Rīgas Satiksme is further enhancing the travel experience for Riga’s Public transport users with the second phase rollout of Papercast® sustainable, low power e-paper displays. This initiative underscores Rīgas municipality owned Public transportation company shift from traditional, power-hungry LED displays to more sustainable technologies.
Driven by the success of its initial deployment and buoyed by positive feedback from passengers, Rīgas Satiksme is extending its digitalization of public transport stops network with Papercast’s 23” e-paper displays. Following a rigorous evaluation process, Rīgas selected Papercast for this second phase expansion, highlighting the calibre and sustainability of its technology.

Retrofitting for efficiency
The decision to expand the network with Papercast’s e-paper displays is rooted in their stability, excellent outdoor visibility, user-friendly interface, low power consumption, ease of installation and customisable features. By retrofitting the displays onto Rīgas’ Satiksme existing infrastructure, deployment time and costs are minimised, including integration with new fleet management system.
Enhanced passenger experience
The 23” e-paper displays provide real-time information at digital stops and shelters for trams, buses and trolleybus services. The content management system (CMS) allows for effortless control over content dissemination and device management, enhancing the overall proposition.
