How long does it take the MTA to update its bus signage? |

Posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Sep 1 20:53:53 2010 It's over two months since the service cuts and bus # 5107 is still running around without the updated signage. I wonder how many more of these buses are out there. Just saw it today on the B1 headed toward Kingsborough. Not only is the signage incorrect due to the changes of June 27th, apparently it was never correct since it reads "B1 via 13Av--via 85 St to Kingsboro Coll Manhattn Bch." The driver did not change the sign on the return trip since it still says Shore Road, not 4th Avenue.The most annoying part of all this is that when the switch to all digital signage was made in 1980 at a great expense ($3,000 per sign as compared to $500 for a roll sign) its touted benefit was the ease of making "instantaneous" changes to signs as a result of route changes. It never took over two months to make changes to the roll signs. |
