A method and a computerized system programmed to carry out the method of predicting the capacity of a public-transport vehicle for passengers to board at the stop and for displaying this predicted capacity on remote computer devices or service screens is provided. The method comprises a prediction process and a data procurement process. The capacity of the public-transport vehicle for passengers to board at the stop is predicted in the prediction process by using previously measured and learned values of capacities of public-transport vehicles for passengers to board and/or previously measured and learned numbers of passengers that have alighted from public-transport vehicles at the stop. The capacity of the public-transport vehicle for passengers to board at the stop and/or the number of passengers that have alighted the public-transport vehicle at the stop are measured in the data procurement process. Thereafter, updated indications are determined out of this measured values, for example, by averaging the newly acquired numbers with a dataset of previously stored numbers and taking non-periodic traffic-relevant events into account by modifying the expectation values accordingly.
