Mass Transit for Towns and Cities

Axion is the first in the world to have developed, manufactured and put on the market Light Emitting Diode (LED) Electronic Destination Signs for Mass Transit. This avant-garde technology was developed in the Province of Quebec as early as 1994, and installed on mass transit buses of many great Canadian cities.

Components of a typical destination sign system are normally found at the front, rear and side of transit buses and display the vehicle's route in a neat and clear fashion. Moreover, the multiple-functionality of this technology offers a performance and reliability yet to be equaled on the market while contributing to minimize the operating and maintenance costs of a mass transit fleet of vehicles.
