Systemwide improvements will include installing and upgrading digital displays and adding new IxNTouch interactive information kiosks, giving riders greater access to real-time transit updates, local information, wayfinding, and other useful content, thanks to IxNConnect, Intersection’s transit communications platform.

The planned customer experience improvements come at no cost to NJ TRANSIT or riders because they are supported by advertising on Intersection’s digital displays and static media.

IxNConnect will allow NJ TRANSIT ability to communicate with its customers in real-time across its network of digital screens and target messages by line, station, and even down to the individual display. The announcement follows the installation of IxNTouch kiosks in select rail and light rail station platforms, which NJ TRANSIT and Intersection announced in May.

By delivering informative and relevant content to consumers, Intersection’s media assets are highly noticed and offer advertisers the opportunity to engage consumers with adjacent advertising, according to the company.
