This solution is not only for the interests of the passengers but also for the operators, as it keeps them informed about any unusual activity.GoldSeat aims at establishing a pan India network to become the leader in the bus segment and also to develop a connected travel experience.”

While commenting on the technology behind GoldLiv, Nishchal Khetarpal, Co-Founder, GoldSeat mentioned, ‘GoldLiv’ virtually puts the travel operator inside the bus and gives him full control of the bus, apart from playing a key role of keeping our passengers informed and entertained during their travel. To be true, GoldLiv is beyond just cameras and GPS. At the core, it is a complex technology that can enable and integrate a host of features for, what we call, The Future Travel”.

GoldLiv night vision cameras could carry a recording of up-to 30 days and could be accessed remotely by the travel operator.
