The first phone charging station has been put into operation. The pilot device has been installed on the bus shelter. Five people can use the device at the same time since it comprises 5 slots. You need to have only an USB cable to charge for free your phone or other mobile device.
Implementation of this pilot solution and installation of one charging station will provide an opportunity to check the functionality of the device and get to know how big the passengers' interest in the project is. Then the decision on installing charging stations at bus stops located in other parts of the city will be taken.
Works connected with the installation of the USB device on the bus stop have been carried out by MPK Lublin as part of the current bus infrastructure investment.
The cost of the project amounted to about 530 PLN.
