Cable cars · Visitor information

What should you show on a screen at the lower cable car station?

When does the cable car run? Where do visitors board? When is the last trip down? A screen helps when it answers these questions quickly and clearly identifies current information.

Help visitors take their next step

Show where to buy tickets and how to reach boarding. Add confirmed operating times. Distinguish the last trip up from the last trip down; a general “Open until 17:00” may be misleading.

Current information needs a confirmed source

Operating status, available activities and short-notice changes must come from the responsible cable car team. Date or timestamp information that can change. A scheduled text change does not confirm that the cable car is actually running.

Example: an information plan for a fictional lower station

SituationUseful contentWhat to check before display
ArrivalTicket sales and directions to boardingAre directions and station names correct?
During the dayConfirmed operating times and available activitiesDo the details apply to this lift today?
Before closingShow the last trip up and last trip down separatelyHas the operations team confirmed both times?
After closingService has ended; confirmed next openingIs there a special timetable or a change?

Fictional planning example without a specific lift or timetable. It is not a current service notice or a customer case study.

Explain what landscape videos show

SUISSE-VIDEO can schedule prepared text content and videos. Landscape videos introduce the destination. Without a current source, they do not show live weather or the present operating status. The screen supplements official notices and information from staff.
