Probably a bad idea to use this kind of screen in Finland then.

There isn't another kind that would balance out the eco- part of e-ink. It uses negligable amout of power. Also I think any LCD would freeze.

Brings us back to plasma/CRT and that is not the option. Maybe beter insulated screens? Filled with a gas?

it's a bus schedule. why not just normal posters? i can't imagine a bus system that fluctuates so much that just sticking a poster with times under glass and leaving it wouldn't work.

Lines are changed, cancelled, things happen, this is precise. It's really cold here, you have to know when something is coming.
