    --  Transit Communications Market in India May Exceed U.S. Market

    DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2007--DRI Corporation (DRI)
(NASDAQ: TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the
domestic and international surface transportation and transit security
markets, announced today that the 51 percent joint venture in India of
its Mobitec AB subsidiary in Sweden has received final confirmation on
its first order valued at more than $2 million USD.

    "We announced Mobitec's new joint venture in India, which is
operating under the name of Cast Master Mobitec India Private Limited
(Cast Master-Mobitec), in May 2007. Even then, we had already received
a notice of commitment for this first order from TATA Motors Ltd., one
of the leading bus builders in India. It is a great achievement, and
we congratulate Mobitec's management team for their hard work. The
order sets a high benchmark following many months of detailed
planning, research, positioning, and organizational work toward the
launch of initial production deliveries that is currently underway. We
expect full production deliveries to begin later this year and to
conclude in the first half of fiscal year 2008. In the meantime, we
are in the process of finalizing Cast Master-Mobitec's operating
infrastructure and working on additional orders. Additionally, in the
coming weeks, we will host a major sales meeting in the Middle East to
build even more support for this new joint venture. The market in
India is very exciting; we are still evaluating its full potential.
However, even at this early stage, I can say that we do believe the
market has the potential to eventually and substantially exceed the
size of the present U.S. market for vehicle-mounted electronic
destination sign systems," David L. Turney, the Company's Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, said.
