Mobile Wi-Fi provider, SinglePoint Communications, partnered with Passengera, a Prague-based technology provider that delivers onboard infotainment platform for transportation operators. The powerful passenger infotainment solution will be on display at SinglePoint’s booth #720 at the 2017 UMA Expo in St. Louis.
This premium passenger engagement platform from Passengera is an all-in-one modular platform with useful automated features coupled with clear pricing to meet basic needs of any transport provider. It can also be customized to meet high demands of larger transport providers. The system can contain defined Infotainment modules, in-vehicle hardware, Wi-Fi connectivity, and internet connectivity, all in one box.
Passengera’s central cloud based management platform simplifies fleet and content management and is highly scalable. With a plethora of features, Passengera’s solution provides a business and communication platform between transport operators and their passengers. Passengera goes beyond just providing Wi-Fi on board by opening new revenue generating opportunities and providing details about passengers’ needs and interests.
“Passengera’s approach to the passenger transportation market is brilliant. Not only is their customer engagement portal beautiful, but the content is relevant, entertaining, and informative. Transportation operators looking to keep their passengers engaged and informed during their trips will be thrilled with what this solution offers,” SinglePoint Communications CEO Rob Taylo said. “By combining either existing vehicle Wi-Fi infrastructure tethered to Passengera’s media server, or using their all-in-one platform, you can now deliver valuable things like scheduling information, ebooks, stream music, movies, news, interactive travel guides, points of interest information along routes, and more. I cannot wait to grow this market with Passengera and change the experience for passengers in America.”
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
The upgraded system, which went live earlier this month, supports METRO’s METRONow vision to enhance the customer experience, improve service reliability, and strengthen long-term regional mobility.
The agreement provides competitive wages and reflects strong labor-management collaboration, positive working relationships, and a shared commitment to building a world-class transit system for the community, said RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins.
The priorities are outlined in the 2026 Board and CEO Initiatives and Action Plan, which serves as a roadmap to guide the agency’s work throughout the year and ensure continued progress and accountability on voter-approved transportation investments and essential mobility services.
