You have to weigh costs involved. A rollsign may only cost $500 but everytime you have a service change you have to modify each sign in each bus. With an hourly cost of maintenance ~$100/ hour and at least two hours of total service time. With service changing (I assume) three times a year, you have the potential of spending $18,000 (assuming $500 to take out/splice/put back in a sign) on changing signs out on one bus over the course of 12 years. Then you have to consider the amount of time mechanics are taken away from doing other work that needs done.That said, I agree that destination signs should be updated to the most up to date program at all times. |
