Electronic display system for use in publicly accessible locations for receiving data from a remote location

A pole-mounted electronic display apparatus comprising:

• a first module having an electronic display and a receiver for receiving data to be displayed on said electronic display;
• and
• a second module having a power source for powering said display and said receiver;
• said first and second modules being interconnected around said pole by at least one fastening device.

In a transit vehicle traffic reporting system having a central reporting station communicating with a plurality of remote transit vehicle stops, an electronic display apparatus at each such stop for displaying transit vehicle arrival time at the corresponding stop;

• each such apparatus comprising:
• a first modular member having an electronically activated display and being configured for attachment to a structure at said stop on a first surface thereof;
• and
• a second modular member being configured for attachment to said structure on a second surface thereof;
• said first and second modular members being releasibly interconnected to one another in mutual compressive engagement with said first and second surfaces of said structure, respectively.
