The recently opened Taipei Bus Station not only offers the largest transportation terminal in Taiwan, but also boasts a six-star hotel, residential condominiums with 24-hour concierge service, offices, a shopping mall, and a nine-screen cinema. The Taipei Bus Station opened on 19 August as part of the Main Station Zone project to promote urban renewal. The Taipei Main Station Zone offers direct access to Taiwan High Speed Rail (HSR), 2 MRT lines, the International Airport Express, Taiwan Railway System, and Inter-City Bus Terminal.

The WebDT Signage System powers displays throughout the station with real-time transportation information. The provider said its 47-inch WebDT displays with IR touch and integrated signage appliances provide vivid, high-definition performance and an interactive experience for visitors to explore the station and surrounding area. SA2000 signage appliances are also paired with 42-inch displays, installed in the bus terminal at the entrance area, ticketing area, and arrival/departure platforms.

It added that the reliable hardware and customisable software, along with its service and competitive pricing made Taipei Bus Station choose the WebDT digital signage system.
