That is, in the transportation by this bus, a plurality of bus stops are installed at desired places in a specific area, and these bus stops are operated along a predetermined route to carry passengers. In this case, the signboard of each bus stop naturally has a scheduled bus passage timetable at the bus stop. Then, a passenger who intends to get on the bus uses the bus with reference to the time added to the scheduled bus passage timetable.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a conventional device, the scheduled bus passage time at the bus stop is attached in detail in a table format. For this reason, passengers must check the current time on the clock while looking at the scheduled bus passage timetable, and determine the next scheduled bus passage time at the bus stop. Not only is it very cumbersome to do this, but there is also the risk of misunderstanding. Furthermore, when it is desired to change the scheduled bus passage time due to seasonal factors or the like, a new timetable must be created and replaced at each time, and there is a problem in terms of maintainability. .
