R train countdown clocks coming to 3 stops?

According to two Bay Ridge local newspapers, countdown clocks will appear in the Prospect Ave, 53rd St and Bay Ridge Ave "R" stations after their complete refurbishment (along with better lighting, phone charging ports, etc).

If they know when the R is coming at Prospect Ave, 53rd St & Bay Ridge Ave stations, can they:
(1) Post this online, similar to what's done for the IRT and L train "subway time"? (At least we don't have to "guess" at the weekend supplement schedules that frequently change.) If we know when it's coming at 53rd, we can extrapolate to see when it's leaving 95th and 86th on weekends.
(2) Put it at 36th and 59th too? If they know when it's coming at 53rd and Prospect, it's impossible not to know when it's arriving at 36th and 59th, where it would benefit FAR more people.

They are coming to 59th/60th - Lexington Av and 34th St/Herald Sq as well.

A few weeks back I saw them installing one of the screens at 59th/Lex (at the 3rd Av end) and yesterday I saw the screen (covered in black plastic) at 34th/Herald Square on the uptown platform at the south end.

They won't be using the digital PACIS units that are on A division station but rather the screens used at Coney Island-Stillwell platforms.

If I recall (and please correct me) those 3 stations are the selected stations that will be used "as the station of the future" in the same topic regarding the new trains of the future when the Govenor made the speech at the Transit Museum earlier this month.

I just be happy if they get rid of those 1960's era 'refrigerator tiles".

Those will be very, very useful.

Only thing better would be getting them at Times Square. Less important would be Canal St (to decide whether to try for an uptown N instead of R), and Whitehall St (take the R or 1?).

Unfortunately the rendering they showed of the "station of the future" included the refrigerator tile.

There is little anyone can do to change the basic structure of any station without a major redesign..gutting it out to the,bare bones..

And even then,that wont change the overall "structure".

The tiles have nothing to do with the "structure" of the station. What does your post have to do with the one that preceded it?

What snark? I asked an honest and direct question - one you were unable to answer.

...you Might understand.
I understand completely. I understand that your post had nothing to do with the one that preceded it, and I recognized it and called you out on it, and you're too selfish, egotistical, and full of shit to admit it. Well guess what? YOU JUST DID. Thank you!
