A digital television service dedicated to North-East bus timetables is launched today.
The scheme will give Sky satellite and Telewest and ntl cable viewers access to a range of public transport information at the press of a remote control button.
Tyne and Wear public transport operator Nexus is introducing the digital TV service as a pilot scheme, which will run until March.
The pages will also include information on the Metro and Shields Ferry, plus a contact page, where viewers can request information or register a complaint.
Nexus plans to add more services and interactivity to the scheme over the course of the pilot.
Ken Brown, corporate e-business manager for Nexus, said: "The idea of the digital television pilot is to broaden out access to public transport information to as many people as possible."
