Could someone please post an updated list of NYCT dest. sign codes? I tried to enter some codes that I copied from a list online from Hopetunnel.org dated 8/1/06 on one of the MCIs at LIB but most of them didnt work(showed exceeded range). It showed 9100 for LIRR Service, but wouldnt work. 6 & 12 work for NIS,13 for "training bus",11 for "next bus please",etc.

Buses 1860 1885-1887 and 1889-1890 came from MTA Bus. 1888 1922 and 1927 were at NYCT. Try punching in code 24 for LIRR Service. That's the MTA Bus code for LIRR Service.
Here are a list of a few other MTA Bus codes:
6-Not In Service
10-See Sign Below
11-Next Bus Please
13-Training Bus
22-MTA Bus
23-Subway Shuttle
24-LIRR Service
25-MNRR Service
The codes you mentioned are for NYCT MCIs. Hope this helps.

I gather NYCT and MTA Bus company codes still dont work on LI Bus. Which is ridiculous, every sign code should work on every bus in the MTA bus system!
We want a uniform system!

Thanks-I didnt realize TA & MTAB had different codes. I guess that's why some of the other interesting codes I tried did'nt work(9198-Storm Route,9201-Coastal storm emerg. rt.,9202-Hurricane shelter,9203-Evacuation center,9500-Police bus,etc.)

To see which code set you have, try entering code that means something different on each. For example, code 1010. You will get either an M1 sign or a Q101 sign.

Yeah-thanks. I tried it today on 1922 & code 9100 worked for LIRR Service. I dry-ran that bus on the Hicksville to Port Jeff. rr route round-trip for clearance & turn issues. I did'nt find it much different than with a 40' transit, except the stations are a lot tighter on weekdays filled with cars, rather than on weekends, where maneuvering is much easier.

that would have been a sight to see an MCI in Port Jeff.
