Okay, but changing the electronic signs isn't maintenance free either. The chips have to be removed individually from each bus and manually reprogrammed. as I understand it. Someone once posted that now there is a way of doing that remotely, but I don't know what technology is involved or what needs to be done to make that possible.I also remember hearing that when there were roll signs, only six mechanics were needed to keep them all functioning until they just stopped maintaining them. The electronic signs require at least 20 electronic specialists to keep them functioning not included extra work needed when the signs have to change. I really don't think that they cost less even in the long run. |
