MODERN UPDATE FOR MK BUS STOPS
MK Council has installed two new innovative solar powered displays at bus stops in Central MK’s Theatre District to help passengers find real time bus information and supplement printed schedules. The displays are being trialled until next spring, and if they prove a success with passengers more could be rolled out across the whole borough. MK Council is keen to hear from
passengers about what other information would be helpful to be on display.
This could be: • Are they easy to read • What do you want to see in the second panel
• How do they compare to traditional real time signs and paper timetable/map information.
More than 100 bus stops (of around 1,000 in total) in Milton Keynes and two large screens in the Central MK shopping centres already offer what’s called Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) technology, to display where a bus is located. The raised screens everyone is familiar with offer limited information, while the new e-ink displays can show a variety of information, including maps.
Councillor Jenny Wilson-Marklew,
Cabinet Member for Transport said: “In a modern place like MK you’d expect to see more real time information to help people use the bus network with confidence. Using technologies like solar, and making these changes to make public transport easier and more accessible will get us that little bit closer to our ambition to be a leading sustainable city.”

DEVELOPER FOR YOU Your software development team are working hard but the workload is still increasing. What are the options to keep your project on track? Managing director of Anterec, Brent Jenkins discusses.
Typically, most organisations will either choose to start the recruitment process in order to expand the team, or hire temporary contractors to help deal with the current workload.
RECRUITING PERMANENT DEVELOPERS The UK has had a national shortage of talented software developers for a long time. Sometimes, after months of looking, companies give up – unable to find the right person and no further forward with their projects.
HIRING CONTRACT DEVELOPERS Maybe you only need some extra help for a few weeks or months. Maybe you need to get skilled developers on board fast. Either way, contractor developers can look like an attractive option. However, you still need to go through some kind of interview
process, daily rates for contractors can be high, and there’s no guarantee that they’ll see your project through to its end.
AN INTELLIGENT ALTERNATIVE What if you could have a pool of highly-experience software developers who can work when you want, on whichever project you want, and that only cost your business money when they work? For example, you need someone to start on Monday, work full-time
for three weeks to cover the holiday period and then support your team for a day each week until the project is delivered. This is impossible with permanent or contract developers, but at Anterec
this is exactly the kind of service we’re now offering. Any Chamber member is welcome to give the team a call to see how they can help.
